Philosophy, Politics, and Economics
Philosophy, Politics, and Economics
The Philosophy, Politics, and Economics major offers the students the opportunity to gain interdisciplinary knowledge about how politics, morality, and economics interact in major questions and issues of policy, law, and social organization. They ask big questions about things that matter, and they learn how to address the most pressing issues facing complex societies. PPE is a great major for anyone interested in making a difference.
