Minor in Portuguese
Portuguese is a world language that enhances the academic and professional profile of any student planning a career with an international component.
Speaking Portuguese increases your marketability, as more businesses, government agencies and nongovernmental organizations seek tri-lingual (English-Spanish-Portuguese) speakers to cover Latin America.
Portuguese is the most widely spoken language in South America, with over 180 million speakers in Brazil alone. In Africa, two Portuguese-speaking nations, Mozambique and Angola, are experiencing rapid economic growth after the end of civil conflicts as production of their oil and minerals increases.
This is the only Portuguese minor in the city of San Antonio. The program was created in 1999.
