IPHS is a great course. It is a combination of Literature, History, Philosophy, and Political Science. The course is taught as a combination of 50 minutes classes and seminars. The seminars are taught by a group of professors in the department that rotate, and includes some of (in my opinion) the best professors in these departments (and maybe in the whole college). It is quite a bit of reading, but the tests are not difficult. As long as you keep up on the reading and take notes in class, it is easy to get together with a group from the class and study together. You have a lot of choice when it comes to paper topics - usually you can write about anything you want.

The other thing that really rocks about this course is that you can count it for several of the diversification requirements. As far as I know it counts for a year of English, a year of Classics, or a year of Political Science. If you have any more questions feel free to e-mail one of the big shots in the IPHS department, professor Shutt. He’s one of my favorite professors and I’m sure he would answer any questions you have. His e-mail can be found on the Kenyon website.
