Luso-Brazilian Studies, Minor

Minor only

The minor in Luso-Brazilian studies offers students the opportunity to engage with the Portuguese-speaking world, with the addition of gaining in-depth knowledge of Brazilian literature, culture, and society. The minor is structured to facilitate engagement with Latin-American, peninsular, and transatlantic topics, while ensuring that students master the essential skills of linguistic competence and literary and cultural knowledge. While students gain the knowledge and skills necessary to engage with Brazil and other Portuguese speaking-nations, they also gain skills in analyzing texts, refining their writing skills, and increasing their communicative capabilities by traveling abroad.
