"Stanford University and the Ford Dorsey IPS program's interdisciplinary approach across the school's departments, ranging from economics, political science, and public policy to law, medicine, and management sciences & engineering, provide an enormous breadth of academic and professional
opportunities while allowing the student to focus in one of seven unique concentration areas. This certainly makes the Ford Dorsey IPS program the most unique among the world's top graduate programs in international relations, health policy, energy policy, and international political economy" - IPS student, class of 2007
