The minor in Portuguese and Lusophone world studies is
interdisciplinary. It consists of 21 credits in Portuguese language,
literature, and culture, as well as courses from appropriate
cooperating departments. Students may choose from two differing
concentrations:
Concentration A: Continental Portuguese Studies
Concentration B: Lusophone World Studies
Both concentrations require the completion of 15 core credits:
6 credits in language:
21&62:810:131,132 Intermediate Portuguese
6 credits in civilization:
21&62:810:342,343 Portuguese and Lusophone World Civilization and Culture
3 credits in literature (conducted either in Portuguese or in translation)
The remaining 6 credits may be satisfied by choosing electives offered
within the Portuguese program or other designated classes in
cooperating NCAS departments. These electives must concern continental
Portugal for Concentration A or Brazil and Lusophone Africa/Asia for
Concentration B. A list of classes from outside the Portuguese program
that satisfy the elective requirements may be obtained in the
departmental office. Students interested in pursuing this minor should
consult the program director.
