The Winter 2025 semester Program in International and Comparative Studies (PICS) course list will be available on Monday, November 11, 2024 on the PICS Courses page.

Students wishing to declare the International Studies major may do so after they receive their final grade in INTLSTD 101.

Students enrolled in INTLSTD 101 will need to complete the PICS Declaration Form. Newly declared students should be able to enroll in INTLSTD 300 or 401 by late December. Please note: A grade of C- or better in INTLSTD 101 is required to declare as an International Studies major and students must have started or completed 4th-term language proficiency.

Please note: For Winter 2025, INTLSTD 300 will satisfy the INTLSTD 301 core requirement. 

Students can fill out and submit their declaration form anytime this semester. Once their INTLSTD 101 grade is received, they will be officially declared and notified by the International Studies advisors that their declaration has been processed. The declaration form link is available on the International Studies Major webpage.

Students are also encouraged to attend the International Studies Virtual Information Session and Q&A on Monday, December 9 at 4 PM ET. Please register to attend this Zoom Webinar.
