The PPE program at George Mason University allows students to pursue topics in the intersection of philosophy, political science, and economics. The PPE model originated at Oxford almost a century ago. In the US there are a growing number of PPE programs and interest is rising. Mason's program - which is offered jointly by the Department of Philosophy, the Department of Economics, and the Schar School of Policy and Government - is the first PPE program in the metro DC area.Students in Mason's PPE program embark on an ambitious course of study. After allowing students to familiarize themselves with each of the three disciplines, the program is centered around a series of courses that were designed or repurposed to cover topics in the intersection of philosophy, political science, and economics, and which adopt a robustly interdisciplinary approach. The program culminates in a capstone course that integrates insights from the entire program.In the process, you will develop core skills of perceptive argument, critical thinking, and clear and persuasive writing. Because of its focus on thoughtful reflection and clear reasoning, a degree in philosophy provides excellent preparation for a wide range of careers. Our graduates have gone on to work in law, public policy, education, business, some have gone onto graduate study and a few have become philosophy professors themselves. We hope that studying philosophy at Mason will help you reflect more deeply on your own values and on what you think makes for a meaningful and well-lived life.
