Program
Cornell’s Latin American Studies Program (LASP), founded in 1961, has become one of the nation’s premier Latin American centers. Today, as part of the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies, LASP provides a focus for all activities on the Cornell campus oriented toward Latin America. Latin Americanists are active in most of Cornell’s colleges and schools, with diverse strengths including agricultural sciences, anthropology, art history, city and regional planning, government, history, labor relations, languages, literature, and nutrition.
LASP’s mission is to stimulate learning about Latin America by supporting Cornell’s Latin America curriculum; nurturing faculty and student research; sponsoring events on and off campus; sponsoring visiting scholars from Latin America; and establishing relationships with universities and other institutions in Latin America. LASP offers a minor in Latin American Studies for undergraduate and graduate students, fellowships, summer programs, and more.
Undergraduate Minor
The undergraduate minor in Latin American Studies is earned with a minimum of 15 credits in Latin American Studies courses and with acquired facility in Spanish or Portuguese. Language facility is demonstrated by successful completion of SPAN 2190 or PORT 2190 or the equivalent.
