Students who have completed a minimum of SPAN112 or the equivalent formal study of another Romance language may seek permission from the instructor to enroll.

Completion of both semesters is required for study abroad in Brazil.

This course will focus on developing proficiency in Portuguese by addressing all skills of language learning: reading, listening, reading and writing.
