Spanish and Global Studies

Our department offers a dynamic Spanish major—with a teacher education track—and coordinates NDSU’s Global Studies major and year-round ESL program. Students gain strong language proficiency while exploring history, culture, literature, and Spanish for the professions. Study abroad is a key part of the journey.
