York University students may earn a Certificate of Proficiency in Portuguese Language concurrent with fulfillment of the requirements for a bachelor's degree. This certificate is also open to students who already hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution, and who are admissible according to Faculty and University policies. This certificate is not, however, open to students who are pursuing or who already hold a degree in Portuguese.

To apply for the certificate, students must have successfully completed at least 12 credits in Portuguese language in the Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics as follows:

AS/POR 2000 6.00;
and AS/POR 3000 6.00 with a minimum grade of B;
and a written examination and an oral interview.

Note: Students who are exempted from an intermediate level language course must take another course taught in Portuguese.
