Description

This program is designed for students who wish to learn more about Brazilian culture and civilization. The program provides exceptional educational opportunities for undergraduate students of Portuguese, Spanish, Latin American studies, music, African-American studies, dance and art.

Highlights

Special features of the program are short, weekly excursions both in and around the city. Such outings expose students to daily life in Salvador, as well as to the many vibrant cultural sites of the area.

Short field trips include visits to reconstructed colonial towns such as the one to Cachoeira to meet members of the Irmandade da Boa Morte, a religious confraternity developed in the early 19th century by enslaved African women.
