Uniquely UWM, Latin American, Caribbean, and U.S. Latinx Studies integrates the study of peoples and cultures of Latin America and the Caribbean with the study of Latinx communities in the United States. Most other programs focus on one or the other. Alumni work stateside or abroad in health services, education, nonprofits, business, and government. An accelerated program leads to both the BA and a master’s in translation in five years.
