With over 200 million speakers across eight nations spanning four continents, Portuguese ranks as the third most prevalent European language after English and Spanish, and stands as the world's sixth most spoken tongue. Located in the epicenter of America's largest Brazilian, Cape Verdean, and Portuguese immigrant communities, UMass Dartmouth creates an exceptional immersive setting for Portuguese language acquisition. As a Portuguese major, you'll delve into the linguistic, literary, and cultural traditions of Lusophone societies. This degree opens doors to diverse career paths including education, diplomacy, business, media, social services, and translation. Our program additionally provides teacher certification for those aspiring to teach Portuguese in secondary education.
