Five courses (minimum of 15 credits) are required for the minor in Brazilian
studies. This will include BRAZ 201 Introduction to Brazilian Studies plus two
additional electives at the 300 level or above and at least two at the 600 level. Of
these four electives, students must choose at least one from the humanities and at
least one from the social sciences. Furthermore, students must take at least three
Portuguese language courses which do not count as electives. This requirement
will be waived if at least two of the electives are taught in the Portuguese
language, relate to Brazil, and are at the 300 level or higher. Students are strongly
encouraged to participate in study abroad programs in São Paulo and Salvador,
Bahia, yet at least half of the electives must be completed at Tulane University.
