Established in the 1960s, the Portuguese program at Indiana housed within the Department of Spanish and Portuguese is one of the oldest in the nation. We are also one of few programs in the country to offer the B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. in Portuguese. We also offer a Ph.D. minor.Our upper-division and graduate curriculum focuses on Brazilian, Portuguese and Lusophone African literatures and cultures. Courses are regularly taught on Brazilian cinema as well as on a range of special topics, most recently, the Literature of Angola and Mozambique: Echos of the Baroque: A Trans-Atlantic Approach.
There is an active conversation hour called Cafezinho For more cultural exposure, check out the Brazilian Association at IU (BAIU)
