NEW International Studies Major!

Major Course List

Spring Issue: International Connections         

The Center for International & Comparative Studies (CICS) focuses on topics of global significance that cut across geographic boundaries. The center’s main themes are:

Human Rights

International Development, and

International Security & Cooperation

CICS provides opportunities for students, faculty, and professionals at U-M to study, conduct research, or work abroad.

CICS is home to the International Studies (IS) minor, a multi-disciplinary program in which students build their own curriculum.

CICS is also home to the International Studies (IS) major concentration in which students choose a path from four tracks with a specific disciplinary focus to examine global issues.

Upcoming Events

CICS events will resume in September 2009, and will include the following events, among others:

The Rackham Distinguished Human Rights Lecture Series

The CICS Human Rights Fellow Lecture

The CICS International Development and Security Fellow Lecture

CICS will also host a Roundtable Discussion to launch the new International Studies Major concentration to begin next year.

Please stay tuned to the CICS web site and the International Perspectives on Human Rights web site for details to be announced.
