PPE is a rigorous, interdisciplinary program that combines studies in political science, philosophy, and economics. Modeled after a program at Oxford University, PPE core classes study human values, cultural institutions, and economics in order to develop multiperspectival solutions to pressing social problems. PPE students will also choose an area of emphasis from the following tracks: Applied Economics, Financial Economics, International Affairs, Law, Philosophy, Public Administration, and Social Enterprise.
Choosing the Public Administration track will set you up for success in urban politics, public administration, and public policy.
