The Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS) supports research and teaching on Latin America by the faculty and students of Stanford in all fields of study. Field research, language training, and interdisciplinary approaches are stressed in the Latin American Studies program, which draws on the strength and diversity of its nationally recognized faculty affiliates and substantial library holdings on Latin America. These resources are enhanced by the Tinker Visiting Professorship in Latin American Studies and the Nabuco Visiting Chair in Brazilian Studies, which bring distinguished Latin American scholars to teach at Stanford each year.

The center's resources include funds used in support of student and faculty activities and classes in and about Latin America, visiting professors and scholars, and various forms of public outreach. CLAS also devotes resources to Iberian and Caribbean studies. The center offers an undergraduate minor, an undergraduate honors program, and a master's degree in Latin American Studies.
