The People Make the Program

Intro

Latin American and Latinx Studies alumni say the best thing about the LAS program at UWEC is the faculty. From the initial discussions about why this program might be right for a student, through degree planning, leading intercultural immersion programs, and mentoring collaborative research, the talented and expert faculty give the LAS courses the credibility that has helped it stand out in the region.
