Both a major and minor in Portuguese and Lusophone World Studies (PLWS) are offered at Newark College of Arts and Sciences.

The PLWS major is an interdisciplinary degree program which includes courses in Portuguese language and Lusophone literature, culture, and history, while taking full advantage of Rutgers-Newark's proximity to the Portuguese-speaking community of the Ironbound, so that students can combine experiential learning with classroom instruction.
