Cierto. Gracias por tu aporte. Saludos desde Uruguay.

Or it could have been written by a... ...non-native speaker. That they're asking for a translation into Spanish, or that it's published in the US, may not speak to its language-related origin. That's my take, at least, as a native speaker of English, born and raised in the US. In any event, I think you've found a natural-sounding translation. Especialización queda perfecto. Saludos desde Honduras :-)

No creo Están pidiendo la traducción a español y es un artículo de una publicación estadounidense... no creo que el original sea en español. Los niveles académicos y los nombres de cursos e institutos en EE. UU. siempre me confunden.
Marcelo González Mar 5, 2018:
Source text sounds like it might have been... ...written originally in Spanish. In this context, at least in the U.S., 'program' is the term typically used at the graduate level (and 'major' at the undergraduate level).
