Semester or Year in Brazil
Description
This program begins with an intensive immersion into the culture and environment of the Atlantic rainforest coast of Rio de Janiero state. With its development in agriculture, business, energy, and exports, the landscape is changing rapidly. After spending four weeks developing a level of comprehension of both written nd conversational Portuguese, students will dive into their self-chosen suite of courses that are intended to immerse them in the issues both positive and negative of the rapidly changing Atlantic coast ecosystem surrounding UENF.
Highlights
Students take courses at the Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense (UENF). UENF classes are taught by highly qualified faculty, most holding the highest degree in their field, with strong research interests and credentials. Currently, UENF has 4,000 students. A wide range of classes from the UENF curriculum have been chosen to allow students to self design a challenging but incredibly rich experience. Students will earn Fairfield University credit and grades, which will be reported on a Fairfield University transcript. Students may take up to 18 undergraduate credits.
