Accredited in the U.S. and
Austria , BA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) offers
rigorous training in all three disciplines of philosophy, politics and
economics. The
program is inspired by the well-established degree created in Oxford over
a hundred years ago. In the politics courses, you will learn to think
critically about different political and social structures; in philosophy, you
will address fundamental questions about reality and our place in it; and in
economics you will learn about the principles that govern the production and
allocation of resources.
The PPE program is
multi-disciplinary — you will get a thorough training in at least two of the three
PPE disciplines. At the beginning of the program, you receive a solid
foundation in all three disciplines, and as you progress through the program,
you are offered an increasing amount of choice in terms of orientation and
focus. You can also do serious interdisciplinary work in your BA thesis or your
capstone project, and you can take courses from outside the PPE framework, which
can offer contrasting or more interdisciplinary perspectives on the topics you
are interested in. These include a number of electives, which range from Human
Rights through Environmental Science to Nationalism Studies.
