Portuguese Minor

Students pursuing a minor in Portuguese develop a strong foundation in the language and receive a thorough introduction to the cultures of the Portuguese-speaking world that will complement any major.

The goals for the Minor in Portuguese are:

• Development of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in Portuguese;
• Appreciation of cultural practices from the Portuguese-speaking world;
• Development of critical arguments about literary and non-literary expressions

A minor must be completed at the time of the degree and will be so noted on the student’s transcript.  A student cannot be readmitted to the University to complete only a minor.

Minors in Portuguese must complete 18 credits as follows.
