Uniquely UWM, Latin American, Caribbean, and U.S. Latinx Studies integrates the study of peoples and culture 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.
("Latinx" (Lah-teen-eks) is an inclusive term used to embrace all gendered and non-gendered identities of peoples with Latin American ancestry. "Latinx" specifically refuses to further silence and erase trans (non-binary and binary) gender non-conforming, non-binary, and genderqueer people.
