UWM’s Center for International Education is among twelve US institutions of higher education designated as a Title VI International National Resource Center (NRC) by the U.S. Department of Education. The designation and funding as a Title VI NRC recognizes UWM as a national leader in the teaching of modern world languages and area studies.
Since 2014 UWM NRC funding has enhanced global education on campus and in the Milwaukee community through a range of initiatives including:
- Support for teaching and pedagogical training in the critical languages —Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Russian.
- Development of the Department of Global Studies as a hub for students pursuing global careers.
- Training and professional development opportunities for Milwaukee and Wisconsin K-16 educators and students to bring global education into the classroom.
- Community programming to connect local issues to the global context.
UWM’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies is also a Latin America NRC with UW-Madison. Check out their amazing work!
