Overview
The Study Abroad Program will be headquartered in the city of Fortaleza in the Northeast of Brazil and the courses will be hosted at the Faculdade Integrada do Ceara (FIC), which is a college of over 12,000 students. The college offers a variety of courses and offers degrees in a wide range of fields including law, computers, and journalism. The college is accredited by the Brazilian ministry of education, and is well-respected institution in Brazil. Students in the Study Abroad Program will attend classes at the campus of FIC and take Portuguese classes and two other required classes that will be conducted in English. Also students will be required to participate in volunteer work. All work will be evaluated and students will be given a transcript from FIC at the completion of the program.
The Study Abroad Program will focus on some of the major political and socio-economic issues that impact Brazil.
