Welcome

The Center for International and Comparative Studies (CICS) at the University of Michigan focuses on programs and partnerships that support multidisciplinary exploration of global issues, particularly those related to human rights, international development, and international security and cooperation.

CICS is also home to the International Studies Program which offers a concentration (major) and minor for undergraduate students as well as fellowship support for students and faculty.

The center organizes International Perspectives on Human Rights, which promotes reflection, debate, and scholarship in the vast and controversial field of human rights.
