Political Economy Program

The undergraduate major in political economy exposes students to political and economic philosophies and to the consequences of specific public policies, and combines political and economic inquires and approaches into a cohesive interdisciplinary program.  The interdisciplinary major in political economy concentrates on the relationship between politics and economics as it has developed historically and as it manifests itself in today’s world. 

A degree in political economy may prepare the student for a career in business (including transnational corporations), government (including international agencies), teaching, and law, and for graduate work as appropriate for any of these pursuits.
