Portuguese
A major in Portuguese offers students an in-depth encounter with the rich and diverse realm of Portuguese, Brazilian, and Lusophone African literature and culture, while focusing on the study of the Portuguese language. Students can explore topics such as race, ethnicity, national cinemas, and women's writing. The study of language, literature, and culture gives special emphasis to issues of historical and political importance that cut across geographic boundaries in the Portuguese-speaking world.
The department of Spanish and Portuguese actively participates in IUB Overseas Study programs and highly encourages their students doing minors and majors to travel abroad. For students studying Portuguese, there are available programs in both Portugal and Brazil. With careful planning from the beginning, overseas study is compatible with any course of study.
