There are various options for traveling to Cordoba, and they all range in price and length.
By Plane
You can take a plane to Santiago de Chile and then directly to Cordoba from the same international airport or take a plane to Buenos Aires and then directly to Cordoba.
The difference between these two is that in the Buenos Aires option, you have to take a private bus from Ezeiza Airport (international airport where you arrive) to Aeroparque Airport (national airport) where the plane Buenos Aires – Cordoba departs.
It is actually quite easy to take the private bus from one airport to another, there are two companies available: Manuel Tienda Leon and "Transfer Express" which take about 1 hour to arrive to the Aeroparque airport.
Still, if you may choose, going through Santiago de Chile is more convenient.
By Bus
If you want to travel economically and save some money, you may go to Cordoba by Bus. There are buses leaving Retiro Station very often during the day and at night(service hours may range from 6:00 am until 12:00 am). To get to Retiro Station from the airport, you may also take the private busses mentioned above.
You can buy the ticket once you arrive to the station and you will not have a problem regarding availability unless you travel during a peak traveling date like Friday before Christmas or another holiday similar.
The buses are very comfortable; you could compare them to the first class seating at the airplane. My suggestion is to catch the bus at night so you can sleep all the way through to Cordoba. If you travel during the day it does get a little bit long.
Here is an article from the virtual tourist that gives a little bit more details that can help you:
Retiro & San Nicolas : Retiro Bus Terminal :
The Retiro Bus Terminal is the point of departure and arrival of all bus going to and from all town of Argentina! You will find there hundreds of bus companies (called "empresa") offering transportation to several destinations limited by a region or to the biggest towns of the country (Cordoba, Mendoza, etc). The tickets can be purchased in advance or the day itself (but not too late to be sure to have a seat) at the desks ("boletarias") on the first floor. They are classified by region…so go directly to the desks covering the region where you want to go. To go to the North of Argentina (Iguazu), I took "Express Singer", it was a very great company. There is also Express Tigre Iguazu. The long and night travels in a bus are very pleasant if you choose a cama or semi-cama seat. Don't worry for the food, the "cena" (evening meal with bread, cheese, ham, empanadas and a desert) and the breakfast (media luna with cafe) are included in the travel price of the ticket!!! According to the time, the bus and the company, the clean aspect of toilets on board can be different. It is better to take toilet paper with 
And also depending of the destination, you can received a cushion and a blanket. But what is sure, is that you will have the occasion to see minimum two films! Maybe you will not understand everything (sound is very low), but there are often subtitles (in Spanish) to help you… Finally, the bus is a really practical and cheap way to travel around in Argentina : a 1500 km travel costs between 80 and 100 pesos(20-25 euros)!!! Nearest Subte (metro-)station : Retiro than straight ahead… the bus terminal is after the train station.
