Why major in PPE?
The PPE program requires students to complete in-depth study and analysis of the relationships between the political, economic and legal systems of our society. Only after this in-depth study and analysis can we begin to understand, evaluate and influence these complicated relationships. PPE allows students the flexibility to determine their area of concentration—philosophy, political science or economics—and to position themselves for a variety of careers or areas of graduate study. The content of the major can be broad and diverse, but all students who work through the curriculum develop an appreciation of our society’s complex central institutions and problems. At the same time, PPE students acquire the analytical skills required to engage and critically evaluate these institutions.
