Curriculum
The program at Reed in international and comparative policy studies (ICPS) is designed to meet the academic needs of students interested in pursuing a major involving interdisciplinary work in the areas of globalization, international relations, comparative policy, and international economic development. Course offerings reflect the interests of faculty members working in this general domain. Courses applicable to the ICPS major come from relevant areas within the departments of anthropology, economics, history, political science, and sociology, and are listed on the ICPS website at reed.edu/icps/courses.html; students are expected to concentrate their ICPS course of study in one of four departments (anthropology, history, political science, or sociology), providing students with a firm disciplinary basis within the social sciences. ICPS majors will be identified by their home department of concentration as ICPS-anthropology, ICPS-history, ICPS-political science, or ICPS-sociology.
Admission to the Major
To be admitted to the ICPS program, a student must apply to the ICPS Committee for acceptance to upper-division standing prior to declaring their major. Applications for the major are due by Monday of the 12th week of the second semester (11th week of instruction) of the sophomore year. First-semester juniors may apply by Friday of the first week of the first semester of their junior year. Since acceptance into the ICPS program is not automatic, applicants should be prepared to pursue an alternative course of study. Please see reed.edu/icps/major.html for details and deadlines.
