The minor in Portuguese enables students to acquire competence in oral and written Portuguese and to explore the literatures and cultures of Brazil, Lusophone Africa, and/or Portugal.

The minor draws from faculty and courses in departments and programs such as Spanish, History, and African American studies. Students are encouraged to study abroad in the target cultures and may count up to 3 study abroad courses toward the minor.

Students who meet the prerequisite requirements and wish to declare a minor should meet with a department adviser.

Prerequisites for the minor

Weinberg College does allow double-counting a minor course toward a general bachelor's degree requirement (i.e. degree requirements other than majors or minors). Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits.
