Students majoring in Portuguese must complete ten courses (30 credits) beyond the 2000 level. All majors must take at least three 6000 level courses except for Junior Year Abroad students, who are required to take two 6000 level courses in the department. The Portuguese Major is classified as a coordinate major, meaning that it must be paired with a separate primary major (for example, Latin American Studies, Public Health, etc) and cannot be taken as a student's sole major. Students complete their writing intensive requirement, service learning requirement, and capstone course through the primary major.
