Welcome

The department of Foreign Language introduces students to the cultures of French, German, and Spanish speaking countries of the world, provides an understanding of their historical and contemporary significance, and facilitates development of proficiency in their languages.  As of Fall 2008, the department is also offering a beginning Arabic course at the Minot Airforce Base.  Contact French professor Amina Escalera [amina.escalera@minotstateu.edu] for further information regarding the sixteen-week course.

With a Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S.E.) degree, the graduate in French or German is prepared to teach a foreign language in high school. Upon completion of a Bachelor of Arts program in French or German, the student is prepared for a wide variety of employment opportunities. Minors in all three languages complement and enhance virtually every degree program. 

Foreign sevice, museum work, banking (foreign department), international business, tourism, social services, the Peace Corps, or translation are possible areas of employment. Students who earn either a B.A. or a B.S.E. degree can go on to graduate school to prepare for a career in college teaching.

Through the study of language and culture, the department promotes global comprehension and prepares students to work, study, and travel abroad.
