Program
We’ll offer Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced Portuguese classes, in cooperation with the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, in Florianopolis. We STRONGLY encourage students to take at least one semester of class before going on this StudyAbroad, simply because you benefit so much more by being able to understand some of the language and the way the people behave.
Classes at or above PORT2010 can be used for a Minor in Foreign Languages at UVU. PORT2020 fulfills General Education Requirements.
Transfer credit is possible, since UVU courses and credits are usually accepted towards degrees at most colleges and universities. Nevertheless, consult with your home institution if you plan to join UVU’s Study Abroad to Brazil.
Classes will be taught by very qualified faculty from the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Through a combination of formal classroom practice, conversational exchange with their host families and native students, films, and excursions, students will have a chance to immerse in the culture and expand their linguistic abilities while being exposed to a higher education environment.
For Advanced Speakers, we’re planning to offer a Brazilian History class. This can be used as a PORT or a HIST credit at UVU. Some Intermediate students may be eligible to take this class as a split-level course.
A few students with special projects may consult with the Study Abroad Director to see how they can accommodate their interests. These will be considered on a case-by-case scenario, and kept at a minimum.
Dr. Debora Ferreira, PhD, is the Director for this program.
