Course offerings for PORTUGUESE

Dear friends of the Portuguese Language and Brazilian Studies Program,

WE HOPE WE CAN COUNT ON YOU AGAIN TO PROMOTE OUR COURSES!

Attached please find the comprehensive list of courses for Fall 2013 in PDF format.

Students at large or those wishing to pursue a Minor or Major in Portuguese can start taking the language classes with a non-language class simultaneously if they want to move a little faster. Or they can choose to start with language only or culture only and decide if that’s what they want. I’m always available to talk to students and discuss the opportunities Portuguese and Brazilian studies can offer them.

Here is a list of all courses with some useful tips in bold:

These courses are taught in PORTUGUESE:
