Philosophy, Politics, and Economics

The PPE Pathway is designed for students who are interested in how political theory, political philosophy, and economic theory intersect in organizing and running institutions and societies. Its aim is to help students acquire basic fluency in each discipline and to provide extracurricular forums in which the disciplines can be brought to bear on common problems. The PPE Pathway is intended for students going into government, civil service, and/or professional schools.
