Administrative history
The Global Studies major and minor were introduced at South Dakota State University in 2004. This interdisciplinary program offers students a broad academic foundation, preparing them to be globally literate, culturally aware, and proficient in a modern foreign language.
The program provides students with a current understanding of global studies, including contemporary global events, and potential career paths in international business, global corporations, government agencies (both domestic and international), and non-governmental organizations. A central goal is to promote global citizenship and a broad perspective on the individual's relationship to the world community. Global Studies is administered through the Department of Modern Languages and Global Studies.

Scope and content
The Modern Languages and Global Studies Department Records consist primarily of departmental newsletters, particularly Campanile, published between 1974 and 1995. The collection also includes course announcements for Chinese, Japanese, and Russian; departmental pamphlets; programs from awards banquets; and materials related to special events, such as the French Revolution Bicentennial celebration. Additional documents include a departmental history covering 1885–1927, standing rules from 1957 outlining departmental policies and procedures, and issues of RALI News focused on remote access language instruction.
These records document the development of foreign language instruction and cultural programming at South Dakota State University. They reflect the department's evolving curriculum, outreach initiatives, and administrative structure, offering insight into its role in promoting global studies and language education across the university community.
