International Comparative Studies (ICS) offers a BA degree to students interested in the interdisciplinary study of societies and cultures of a particular region of the world, complemented with the comparative study of international issues. Students currently study Africa, East Asia, Eurasia, Latin America, the Middle East, North America, Russia, South Asia, and Western Europe. Students interested in a different area designation should consult with one of the directors.

Each ICS student chooses to concentrate on a single world region by taking courses from a variety of departments while also studying a language appropriate to that region. In addition, students complement and deepen their understanding of their chosen region by taking courses about specific global issues and/or courses about a second world region. All ICS students share a common core of knowledge and experience derived from their participation in the core courses, ICS 125, Comparative Approaches to Global Issues, and ICS 200S, Rethinking Areas. Especially in the latter course, a seminar, students have a chance to examine what they have learned in the company of students who have been studying different world regions, which provides a rich environment for understanding and exchange.
