Portuguese & Luso Brazilian Studies
What I've enjoyed most about being a part of the Portuguese and Luso-Brazilian studies program is鈥痟ow helpful the knowledge I've learned has been while travelling abroad. I have a better understanding for my culture, just from reading literature. It has also helped me achieve my goal of having a deeper understanding of Portugal. I can now have discussions with my friends about literature that they have also read while living and being educated in Portugal. For those who are Portuguese or Brazilian, taking courses that are part of this program is beneficial as you learn a lot about your culture, which could be a valuable tool for you鈥痶o use in the future.
