IPSP Policies (Registration, Thesis)

Registration Policy

(a)	IPSP students are required to complete all the Core Required Courses in their first year to establish foundation for studying important global policy issues in peace studies with faculty and other students (unless otherwise the Dean or the Director allows them to do it in their 2nd year due to special circumstance).
(b)	It is recommended that students evenly distribute their course load in each term over two years, i.e., 6 to 8 credits per term.
(c)	Policy (b) is to emphasize significant role of classroom studies. IPSP deems it extremely important as a platform where faculty and students think and study various important issues together and work closely in an interactive environment.

Thesis and supervisor

(a)	IPSP students must write a thesis of minimum 10,000 words (double spaced) .
(b)	IPSP students are required to select a supervisor (but not required to select an advisor). (A thesis examining committee consists of a supervisor and an examiner.)
