Spanish Program

At Minot State University students learn to communicate in Spanish as they become acquainted with the culture and literature of the Hispanic world. Students have ample opportunities to use their Spanish in situations outside the classroom.

Spanish is becoming a dominant language in the United States and the Hispanic market is very attractive to U.S. investors. This means that there will be ample career opportunities for students who plan to use Spanish for teaching, or for pursuing a Business career, At MSU students can combine a degree in Spanish with a BA in Criminal Justice or any other field where the knowledge of Spanish is beneficial. At Minot State students can either receive a concentration, minor of major in Spanish. This provides them with the flexibility to combine Spanish with the profession of their choice.

As you look at our web page, please check out our Study Abroad Programs. Our students have studied in Spain and Latin America during the summer. They also have the option of studying abroad for the semester and receiving equivalent credit hours from Minot State University.
