The undergraduate minor in Portuguese requires a minimum of 15 s.h. in Portuguese courses (prefix PORT), including 12 s.h. in University of Iowa courses numbered 2500 or above; credit earned in a University of Iowa study abroad program may also be counted toward the minor. Students must maintain a grade-point average of at least 2.00 in all courses for the minor and in all UI courses for the minor. Coursework in the minor may not be taken pass/nonpass. A maximum of 3 s.h. of transfer credit may be applied toward the minor. Furthering Language Incentive Program (FLIP) credit may not be applied toward the minor.

Students may apply up to 3 s.h. from PORT:2500 Accelerated Intermediate Portuguese toward the minor. One 3 s.h. course taught in English in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese or one course taught in Spanish (prefix SPAN) numbered 2000 or above can be applied toward the minor, but not both. All other courses must be numbered 2500 or above. Students can identify courses taught in English by viewing the course description for each course; this restriction does not apply to PORT:3105 or PORT:4700 when they are taken with an additional semester hour in Portuguese.

All students planning to complete a minor in Portuguese are strongly encouraged to consult with Portuguese faculty advisors.
