Why Lead a Study Abroad Program in Brazil?
One of the world’s largest economies, Brazil is a leader in agriculture, renewable energy, and cutting-edge research in biotechnology, aerospace engineering, and climate science. Deeply shaped by its African heritage, it offers a vibrant setting to study the African diaspora through its rich cultural contributions in music, dance, and traditions.
Moreover, Brazil’s innovative approaches to urban planning, social inclusion, social justice, and human rights create a dynamic environment for students to tackle global challenges and explore transformative solutions.
SUGGESTED FIELDS OF STUDY:
Business & Entrepreneurship
As the largest economy in Latin America, Brazil is an excellent destination for studying international business, trade, and entrepreneurship, with opportunities to explore topics like innovation in emerging markets and sustainable economic development.
Environmental & Sustainability Studies
Brazil is a global leader in renewable energy, with hydropower supplying over 60% of its electricity. The Amazon rainforest and Pantanal wetlands offer unparalleled opportunities for studying biodiversity, conservation, and the impacts of climate change.

Brazil’s rich Afro-Brazilian culture offers a unique opportunity to study the contributions of African-descended people in Brazil. Students can explore Afro-Brazilian music, dance, religion, and literature, as well as the ongoing struggles for racial equality, social justice, and recognition of African heritage within Brazilian society.

TO ENRICH YOUR EXPERIENCE:
Virtual add-on
For any of our on-site programs, we also offer virtual options to transform the program into a more enriching and immersive experience for students. From our experience, having a pre-departure virtual component helps students to take full advantage of the learning journey while in country.
Prior to the start of the on-site portion of the program, we can add the following type of virtual content:
Project-based learning:
Rather than conducting the real world project in one day while in country, we can introduce the project prior to the students’ departure, giving them time to work on the project beforehand, develop closer relationships with the project host, and further develop their project management skills.
Academic content:
We can set up synchronous virtual sessions prior to departure where we expose students to more of the content they will see in country, such as expert roundtables and lectures.
Cultural content:
In order to help minimize the culture shock students face upon arrival and to help optimize their time while in country, we can also offer crash courses in Brazilian culture, Portuguese language, and intercultural communication.
