Curriculum Design
SiPN is designed to serve many different kinds of students. For those who are not yet ready to take all of their coursework in Portuguese, they can still cover their major or general education-type requirements through a wide array of offerings taught in English. Consequently we provide two main types of classes: core curriculum (taught in English) and direct enrollment classes in our partner universities.
Core Curriculum
The core curriculum is designed for students who do not yet feel ready to take their social science or humanities classes in Portuguese. The faculty of the core curriculum are published experts with Ph.Ds in their respective fields, hand-chosen by the academic council of SiPN to teach in our program. Many of them have previously taught or done graduate work in North America or other English-speaking regions. Our core classes also enroll Erasmus and local Portuguese students, for a truly international classroom experience, taught in English.

(*) Starting in Spring semester 2018, SiPN has instituted a new policy that requires all participants to register for at least one of our 4 core course offerings— Portuguese Society & Culture. While students will still enjoy the freedom to design their semester curriculum from among the hundreds of classes and/or internships offered through our 4-university consortium, the Academic Council of SiPN felt that it was imperative that all of our students come away from their semester or year abroad with at least 1 course that covers the basics of Portuguese history, economy, politics and culture. Other core classes will continue to dive into these and other topics in much greater depth and from a disciplinary perspective, but this survey course will at least guarantee some basic familiarity with the host society in which you are immersed during your stay. Note that students who study with SiPN for the academic year only need to complete this course during one of their semesters. Just as with any SiPN course, this class will require pre-approvals on your home campus for transfer credit. The syllabus will survey an interdisciplinary set of social science and humanities-related topics about Portugal, its former empire, and its contemporary relations with Europe and the community of Portuguese-speaking countries. SiPN recommends that study abroad advisors consider this course for upper-level undergraduate social science or humanities elective credits.
Direct Enrollment Classes
Direct enrollment classes may be conducted in either Portuguese or English. For example, each semester SiPN provides all levels of Portuguese language courses (A1 – C2) for whichever level you test into. More advanced Portuguese learners have even greater choices and can elect to take all of their coursework in Portuguese through direct-enroll classes at any of the 4 schools in the consortium in virtually any field, providing for a fully immersive experience. For those who are looking for other choices outside our core, the SiPN universities provide hundreds of direct-enroll classes each semester in business, economics, and many other fields, all of which are taught in English and open to participants of SiPN. Nevertheless, for students who need some courses taught in English, SiPN strongly recommends that students take at least 2 courses from among our core offerings.

Build Your Summer
SiPN summer program is split into two 4-week sessions: June and July. Students can combine sessions.
In each session students may pick and choose from classes that are developed by SiPN, direct enrollment classes, and Portuguese language classes at various levels and intensities. Students may take no more than 12 ECTS (typically 6 US credits) in any 4-week session.
We also offer an internship program that requires an 8-week stay minimum, June and July. (SiPN internships are for academic credit, variable credits, click here for more info on internships).
