• US-Brazil Higher Education Consortia Program

• The US-Brazil Program operates as a student exchange, where University of Missouri students spend a semester at a Brazilian unversity and take courses in Portuguese with other Brazilian students, while Brazilian students spend a semester at the University of Missouri taking courses.

• Eligibility for Enrollment
• The program targets Civil Engineering and Geology students, primarily those in their second or third year of studies. Seniors and graduate students with outstanding academic performance will be eligible upon advisor's recommendation.
• Academic Credit
• Students will receive full credit (12-15 credit hours per semester) for successfully completed course work. Students must obtain advisor's approval for the courses that will be taken in Brazil to ensure transfer of credits will meet MU degree requirements.
• Language Requirement
• A good working knowledge of Portuguese is needed to attend classes in Brazil. Students should take Portuguese I and II at MU (6 credit hours each) that can be applied towards fulfiling the Humanistic Studies and Fine Arts elective requirements for MU degrees. Students that are proficient in spanish may still consider taking Portuguese at MU and/or enroll in Intensive Portuguese course in Brazil before classes start.
• Program Cost
• Students pay MU tuition and fees for 13 hours per semester. The FIPSE sholarships pay up to $4000 in student expenses such as: round trip air travel from St. Louis to Recife, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo or Natal, Brazil; basic room and board; an intensive Portuguese course in Brazil and other selected costs.
• Application Deadlines
• Applications for travel in January 2006, 2007 and 2008 will be accepted until January 31 of the preceding year for students that have not taken Portuguese or Spanish, or May 15 for students that have taken one of these languages in college.
