University of Oregon upgrades Portuguese language program

The University of Oregon has upgraded its Portuguese language courses due to increasing demand, moving from Portuguese being available as an undergraduate language requirement to Portuguese as a full language program. It is not overly focused on Brazil either:

The core courses will become part of the Portuguese program in Romance Languages beginning fall term, along with a new Portuguese 150 course – “Introduction to the Lusophone (Portuguese-speaking) World.” The new offering will be a general education course, taught in English and intended to provide an overview of cultures in the Portuguese-speaking world.
