The University Center for International Studies (UCIS) is home to six area and thematic studies centers that offer multidisciplinary academic programs for undergraduate and graduate students, programs and funding for affiliated faculty, and initiatives and events for community organizations and K-12 educators and students. "(NRC)" denotes that a center has been designated as a National Resource Center by the United States Department of Education.
UCIS centers work with various groups across the broader community to develop programming that enhances teaching and learning about the world and other languages beyond our campus. Together, we run programs such as high school Model EU and Model African Union simulations, festivals, educator study tours, reading groups, classroom visits, weekend mini-courses, and more.
