The Latin American Studies Program (LASP), celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2021, is committed to a deeper understanding of Latin American and Caribbean societies through teaching and research across humanities, science, and social science disciplines.

LASP expands the intellectual presence of Latin America at Cornell by organizing diverse campus activities to bring together faculty, students of all levels, and the Cornell community. LASP sponsors both undergraduate and graduate minors, and we encourage students to gain meaningful international experiences in the region through study abroad programs, short-term course visits, and internship opportunities.
