Degree Options & Requirements

Our program is an ideal foundation for work in many different areas. Qualified bilingual graduates are in demand in fields such as national and international law, foreign service, business and finance, arts & media, social services, medicine, education and hospitality, international development, journalism, the arts, publishing.

Portuguese is also an ideal match with other programs. As a BA or a minor, Portuguese will enhance your York University education. Although it is a natural match with Humanities and Social Science programs like Latin American Studies, Sociology, Anthropology, History and Communications, Portuguese may also inform programs in the natural and physical sciences such as Kinesiology and Biology.
