The School of Arts and Sciences is adding a new interdisciplinary major in philosophy, politics, and economics for undergraduate students beginning in Fall 2024.
“The new program in philosophy, politics, and economics combines solid career and graduate school preparation with the best of what a liberal arts education offers: interdisciplinary learning in the social sciences and humanities, asking big questions about things that matter, and working closely with faculty in many different fields,” says Carly Herold, assistant professor of philosophy and program coordinator. “Students will learn about how politics, morality, and economics interact in major questions and issues of policy, law, and social organization. It’s a great major for anyone interested in making a difference.”
Program highlights include a rigorous exposure to all three disciplines and the flexibility to focus on specific areas of interest. Opportunities for mentored research or internships will help prepare graduates for careers in law, public policy and administration, non-profit management, media and marketing, or public and private sector consulting.
