The Program in International and Comparative Studies (PICS) is home to the International Studies major and minor. Established in 2009, International Studies is now the sixth-largest major in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA), with over 1,100 accomplished alumni worldwide. PICS will mark the U-M Bicentennial with an International Studies Alumni Career Panel on March 20, 2017.

International Studies graduates pursue numerous career paths, many going on to work with corporations, non-profits, or government agencies, as well as progressing directly on to graduate school. This alumni panel will showcase and celebrate the university’s rich history of contributions made by International Studies alumni, while providing valuable insight for current students as they start to develop their own career paths. The panel will include a student Q&A portion; a networking reception with light appetizers will follow.

Learn where an International Studies major can take you.
