What is ICPS?
ICPS is a program for students interested in interdisciplinary work in the areas of international relations, comparative policy analysis and international economics. For this kind of study, you need an historical understanding of the international system. You should be able to work comfortably with basic qualitative and quantitative methods necessary for your area of inquiry. You also need a solid disciplinary foundation in a home department, usually economics, political science or history. All ICPS majors take the Junior Qualifying Examination in their home department before they take the Junior Qualifying Examination of the ICPS Committee.
