Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) is an interdisciplinary major integrating analytical frameworks from three essential disciplines to address complex social, political, and economic challenges. Students develop critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, and ethical analysis skills while exploring fundamental questions about justice, governance, and economic systems. The curriculum combines foundational coursework with advanced interdisciplinary study. Since PPE majors gain expertise in constitutional law, economic policy analysis, and philosophical argumentation, they are particularly well-prepared for careers in law, public policy, business, and government service.
