A Romance Languages major enables you to have a major concentration in Portuguese, which is not available as a major at this time. It also gives you the flexibility to study more than one language. However, a full major in most cases only requires four more courses and is needed if you plan to get certification to teach in high school or apply for graduate school in that language.
