Spanish and Portuguese

专业详情

The Combined Major in Spanish and Portuguese is a program of humanistic study that requires a minimum of 36 credits at the intermediate and advanced level, roughly evenly divided between Spanish and Portuguese. This major is especially recommended for students who arrive at Emory with a strong background in Spanish and a desire to deepen their understanding of the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking worlds, as well as to develop their linguistic, communicative, and critical-thinking skills.

Spanish 202 and Portuguese 110 are considered prerequisites for the major. Students may take these courses at Emory or place directly into more advanced courses that count toward the major (SPAN 212 and above, PORT 201 and above). 

Ideally, students in this program will study abroad in two different summer or semester terms, once in a Portuguese-speaking country and once in a Spanish-speaking country. It is also possible to complete the major using only courses taught at Emory.

To declare a major, please go to the OUE website and fill out the online Declaration of Major/Minor form. Spanish and Portuguese majors meet with the Director of the Portuguese Program, currently Prof. Ana Teixeira, to finalize their declaration and subsequently each semester to discuss their progress and select courses.
