Description
The program in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) gives students the ability to see the multifaceted and complex nature of any issue or question related to living in human communities. Taken together, the courses in this major provide students both the breadth and the specialization to grasp how moral, political, and economic considerations intertwine. Through PPE, students receive the combined benefits of the social sciences and the humanities in one course of study. They will gain training in a range of analytical tools and research methods. They will engage in thoughtful interaction and debate about the fundamental questions and recurring challenges of life in complex societies. They will be exposed to and respectfully engage with opinions and perspectives that differ from their own. By rigorously integrating the approaches of its three main disciplines, PPE provides excellent preparation for students interested in law school, MBA programs, a multitude of MA and PhD programs, as well as employment in public policy and administration, non-profit management, media, public and private sector consulting, marketing, business, and teaching.
