The Consortium's objective is to enhance the Latin American curriculum on both campuses, provide research and training opportunities for students and faculty from all disciplines, and increase public awareness of the importance of Latin American cultural studies and traditions.

Since 1990 the Carolina and Duke Consortium has received major funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to permit additional cooperation. Since 1991 the Consortium has been designated a Title VI National Resource Center for Latin American Language and Area Studies by the U.S. Department of Education. In 1995 the Carolina and Duke Consortium mounted a major campaign to match a portion of the funding provided by the Mellon Foundation in an effort to secure its financial future.
