The Department of Modern Languages and cultures offers opportunities for all NDNU students to experience the process of language learning, to acquire proficiency in Spanish or French, and to gain insights into the literature, business and lifestyles of other cultures. Students can take individual courses or focus their study with a minor in French Studies or Spanish. The Department will also work with students who wish to create interdisciplinary majors and minors, as approved by the Department Chair. The University’s mission and vision are at the center of the courses taught by the Department, especially global peace, social justice, and values-based learning.
Students are encouraged to gain practical experience outside the classroom by engaging in internships with international companies and agencies both in the USA and abroad to prepare for future careers as global citizens. Studying abroad is also highly recommended and a popular way for students to hone their language skills, experience living in another culture, and undergo significant personal growth.
See the NDNU General Catalog for the program requirements and course descriptions.
