Modern Languages and Cultures – Portuguese Minor

This minor provides two full years of modern language and culture instruction to prepare students for living and working within an intercultural society both at home and abroad. The minor consists of five courses, either five language courses or a combination of language courses with up to two culture courses.

• Posting of the minor on the student’s academic transcript requires a minimum GPA of 2.0 in the minor.
• Notations may appear in the curriculum chart below outlining pre-requisites, co-requisites, and other curriculum requirements (see footnotes).
