The Major

The undergraduate major in Portuguese consists of 36 credits. None of these credits may be taken Pass/Fail, and a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher must be obtained in courses counted toward the major. Entering students who wish to major in Portuguese and are at the intermediate level are urged to take PORTUG 246, an intensive course that enables them to begin the major right away.
