Overview
Latino talent is vital to our workforce—particularly in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics (STEAM), where innovation and creativity converge to drive economic growth. As artificial intelligence (AI) accelerates changes across industries, the future of work will rely on an interdisciplinary workforce that pairs technical expertise with uniquely human capabilities like creativity and collaboration. Integrating the arts into STEM is essential for national competitiveness; however, Latinos remain significantly underrepresented in these high-wage, high-growth sectors.
This companion piece summarizes the Top 25 institutions graduating Latino students in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics) across all credential levels (certificate, associate, bachelor's, master’s, and doctorate)
