PPE prepares students for a complex world

College graduates are increasingly expected to think across traditional boundaries and to have skills that enable them to address complex problems in both the public and private sectors. PPE students learn how our major economic and political systems function, and are also taught to engage them critically with the aim of discovering new possibilities in our shared global community.

The analytical tools and interdisciplinary perspective that the PPE major provides will prepare students for careers in:

  • Law
  • Public policy and public service
  • Business
  • Finance
  • Consulting
  • NGOs
  • Secondary and higher education
  • Journalism

...and other pursuits that engage public life.
