A program centered on the Portuguese language and its various dialects. This includes studies in philology, both Metropolitan and Luso-Brazilian Portuguese, regional dialects, and practical applications in fields like business, science, technology, and other areas. At UNM, the Department of Spanish & Portuguese serves a crucial function in the state's leading university, educating students about the languages, cultures, and literary traditions of Hispanic and Portuguese-speaking regions. We aim to foster excellence in teaching and research that combines language, literature, linguistics, and cultural studies from Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries. The department extends its knowledge to the university community, Albuquerque residents, and New Mexico as a whole, with a particular focus on preserving Spanish in New Mexico and examining cultural exchanges in the Southwest.
