"I enjoy experiencing and learning about cultures and I feel the World Languages & Cultures Department strives to create an environment for learning about a language and culture. For example, there are many languages you can learn and events, clubs, and other activities to assist language and cultural learning.”

"The Department of World Languages & Cultures has dedicated, intelligent professors and a well-rounded outlook that will help students regardless of their career goals. I appreciate the MS Spanish for its education class requirement and the opportunities I've had to teach Spanish at the undergraduate level.”

"The best part about the World Languages & Cultures Department is the opportunities they provide for the students to go out and explore the world! I studied abroad in Spain through the department and it was a wonderful experience! It has really opened my eyes to the diversity we have in the world and has been a great opportunity to practice using Spanish in my everyday life. Studying abroad is an amazing experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone else who is interested!”

"My very first class at MN State Mankato was Philosophy: Law, Justice, and Society. It was immediately clear to me that I wanted to major in Philosophy...I believe that the Philosophy curriculum teaches its students critical thinking better than any other discipline. Some students may find their first Philosophy class to be difficult or an acquired taste, but it’s worth it!"
