Stanford IPS Open House

[thymsie]

Did anyone go to Stanford IPS' open house? What did you think of Encina Hall? Do you think IPS students are well-integrated into the community? 

 

Also, I'm curious about IPS' network after graduation: do IPS grads get to be a part of the Grad School of Arts and Sciences at Stanford or are they siloed off, with their own networks?

 

Any insight is welcome, thanks!

Hi I am graduate of the IPS program and can safely say that students are well integrated into the community. This is due to the fact that many IPS students take courses in the business, law, engineering, and medical schools. Stanford also emphasis interdisciplinary training with departments like the D.School which mandates students work in interdisciplinary teams. IPS is run by both the Freeman Spologi Institute and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and graduates have access to the entire Stanford alumni network.
