Overview

The minor in Portuguese, offered by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, prepares students to engage with diverse communities both at home and abroad through the development of language skills and intercultural competencies. The Portuguese minor is designed to develop strong language and professional skills and to provide a critical awareness of Brazilian, Portuguese and Luso-African cultures.

Spanish and Portuguese organizations and activities include Sigma Delta Pi, the National Hispanic Honor Society, the scholarly publications of the Society of Spanish and Spanish-American Studies, and the Spanish and Portuguese Clubs and Film Series.
