The Department of Politics, in collaboration with the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions, offers the Program in American Ideas and Institutions (AIIP) for students who wish to further and to demonstrate their understandings of the three branches of the federal government and the values, ideas, and theories that underlie them and are animated by their workings. It draws together a menu of courses from American politics, political theory, public law, and other departmental offerings.
