Lisbon, Portugal

Overview

Portuguese is a widely spoken but rarely taught language and is the first language of 221 million people around the world, including residents of the world’s ninth-largest economy, Brazil. The School of Modern Languages’ Portuguese program was launched in Fall 2019.

The offerings are part of the universities’ partnership in the Atlanta Global Studies Center, funded through a $2.25 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education. Students attending colleges and universities affiliated with the Atlanta Regional Council for Higher Education (ARCHE) may join Georgia Tech students in taking the new classes through the council’s cross-registration program. Students at other institutions should check with their school’s registration office for details. Students will attend classes in state-of-the-art classrooms equipped with videoconferencing technology, making them accessible to registered students on other campuses.
