Part-Time Course

---

The Part-Time Course of Studies is open to all IPED students. It allows a student who is only taking two courses each semester to complete the normal course of studies within two years, including two summers. Part-time students can use their electives to specialize in comparative and international politics, international development studies, emerging markets and country risk analysis, international banking and finance or in international and development economics. This course of studies is best suited for members of New York's diplomatic, non-profit, and business communities who must work while pursuing their degrees.
