The Multiwavelength Survey by Yale-Chile (MUSYC) consists of deep optical (UBVRIz) and near-infrared (JHK) imaging of four quarter-square-degree fields on the sky, centered on CDF-S, HDF-S, SDSS1030+05 and Cast 1255+01. Three of these fields have satellite coverage, including Spitzer, Chandra, XMM, HST-ACS, and GALEX. We will present initial results, including our public UBVRIz images and catalogs of the 33'\times34' Extended HDF-S. We will measure the luminosity functions and clustering properties of quasars, lyman alpha emitters, lyman break galaxies and evolved optical break galaxies at z=3. A proper motion survey will probe Galactic structure by detecting halo white dwarfs. Detailed studies of color-selected sources with R\leq 25 are being performed through spectroscopy on VLT+VIMOS, Magellan+IMACS and Gemini+GNIRS.
