Students majoring in Portuguese engage with the literature, culture, and linguistics of Portuguese-speaking nations. The program begins with a placement test to determine each student's starting level. While many majors commence with Advanced Portuguese I, those needing more preparation take Accelerated Portuguese, requiring an extra semester to fulfill major requirements. Both Spanish and Portuguese hold global significance as primary languages in Spain and Portugal, official tongues in nearly 20 American nations, and influential presences across Africa, Asia, and the growing U.S. Hispanic community. These languages, spoken by hundreds of millions, play vital roles in international commerce and diplomacy. Equally remarkable are their vibrant cultural expressions through literature, cinema, music, and visual arts. Georgetown's Spanish and Portuguese Department offers comprehensive coursework designed to cultivate advanced language skills and profound cultural insight across the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking world.
