Welcome
to the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies. A campuswide
research unit of the University of California-San Diego, established
in 1999, CCIS conducts basic and policy-oriented Research
Projects on international migration and refugee flows throughout
the world. We seek to illuminate the U.S. immigration experience
through systematic comparison with other countries of immigration,
especially in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Each
year, our Visiting Fellowship
Program brings together a multidisciplinary, multinational
community of researchers sharing these interests. Through our
global network of Research Associates,
our Publications program, and
Media Information program,
we strive to disseminate the results of academic research to
a broad array of users. Our Forced
Migration Laboratory brings together academic specialists
on refugee movements, NGO practitioners, and public policymakers
to evaluate refugee resettlement and economic assistance programs.
With UCSD's Eleanor Roosevelt College, we have created a new
Minor in International Migration
Studies to enable undergraduate students to develop a pre-professional
specialization in immigration studies, including field research
experience in immigrant-sending and receiving communities. We
hope that you will use our on-line resources and join us at
our Research Seminars and
Conferences as often as possible.
Your questions and suggestions are always welcome.

Center moved into a new building on the campus of
UCSD's Eleanor Roosevelt College.
