About the Latin American Studies Program
The Latin American Studies Program (LASP) at The University of Iowa is a unique interdisciplinary, international program of study for undergraduate students. Established in 1978, the program is governed by a faculty steering committee whose primary teaching and research interests focus on Latin America.
The Latin American Studies Program fosters cross-disciplinary teaching and research on Central and South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Through academic programs and opportunities on campus, LASP uses this region as a framework for exploring thematic issues in such disciplines as anthropology, art, history, political science, Spanish and Portuguese, and communication studies.
