Drexel University's Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) program demonstrates the institution's dedication to interdisciplinary learning that bridges theory and application. This collaborative initiative between the School of Economics, the Department of Politics, and the Department of English and Philosophy offers students a multifaceted approach to solving today's intricate, interrelated societal issues. The curriculum combines philosophical rigor, practical research methods, and evidence-based political and economic frameworks, with each field offering valuable insights that enrich the others.
PPE majors start with PPE101, an interactive seminar exploring how these three disciplines intersect to address pressing global concerns. Through this course, students gain proficiency in applying the PPE framework to modern challenges including economic disparity, social injustice, media censorship, conflict, gender discrimination, racial inequality, and humanitarian crises.
