International Studies (Major)
Effective Winter 2021 Exclusions:International Studies majors must declare a sub-plan. The sub-plan will be notated on the student's official transcript.
Advising
The International Studies Advisor will assist students in developing a program of study. Advising for the Honors plan is provided by the PICS Director and the PICS Honors Thesis advisor. For more information, see: www.ii.umich.edu/pics/undergraduates/advising.
Grade Policies
Students must earn a C- or better in all required PICS courses. Language requirement courses are not included in the minimum 34 credits required for the major nor in the major GPA.
Prerequisites
The following requirements must be met before declaration:
- INTLSTD 101: Introduction to International Studies (Grade of C- or better).
- Students declaring Political Economy & Development sub-plan must complete ECON 101 with a grade of C or better.
- Students must have started or completed 4th-term language proficiency.
Requirements
PICS Language Requirement for the Major.
Sixth-term proficiency in a language other than English must be obtained prior to graduation; therefore, students should begin the language sequence early.
We believe that language study is a vital part of any liberal arts education and that students who major in international studies should be well prepared to work in environments overseas, or in companies or organizations that interact regularly with people from other countries. The PICS language requirement will not only be of benefit to the students in broadening their skills and their vision of the world but will also be an important signal to employers or graduate admissions committees about how our students are well-rounded and focused on the world and not just the United States.
Please see PICS website for details of and further information about the sixth-term language requirement.
See Sub-Plans for course requirements:
