Bachelor of Arts - Portuguese

Portuguese is the official language of more than 200 million people in eight countries on four continents. After English and Spanish, it is the third most widely spoken European language, and the sixth most spoken language in the world.

Situated in the heart of the region that boasts the largest concentration of Brazilian, Cape Verdean, and Portuguese immigrants in the United States, the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth provides a unique environment to learn Portuguese in a richly varied immersion setting. As a Portuguese major, students will study and explore the language, literatures, and cultures of the Portuguese-speaking world.

The Bachelor of Arts in Portuguese offers access to careers in education, foreign service, immigration, international business, international relations, journalism, linguistics, politics, print and visual media, social and non-profit/non-governmental organizations, translation, and other fields.
