Top Portuguese Programs

[heliogabalus]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking into this for a friend (she's not in the US), but what are the most respected graduate programs in Portuguese? I know the rankings will be different depending on a focus of Brazilian, Continental, or African lit, but just in general what are the biggies when it comes to Portuguese?

Her Spanish is great too, but her passion is Portuguese.

Michigan isn't a biggie just yet (for Portuguese, anyway) but it's fast developing since the past couple of years and surely a good place to look.

Thank you.

Certainly Indiana University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and The Ohio State University are worth a look!

Perfect, that's really helpful.
