<p>What do you guys think of the Ethics, Politics and Economics Major at Yale? Do you like the coursework? What do you think you'd do it with it after if you don't want to go to lawschool? It's not technically a "pre-law" major, but it seems geared a bit that way ...</p>
<p>Ok, first of all there's no such thing as "pre-law"...unlike pre-med, there are no set courses you have to take, and you can just as easily get accepted into law school as a music or bio major as you could as a poli sci major. </p>
<p>Your major in college actually doesn't matter that much...I have friends who were humanities majors going into i-banking, friends who did poli sci going to med school, and chem majors going into law. </p>
<p>So...basically, EP&E majors might go to med school, law school, banking, work on Capitol Hill or get an MBA. Very unpredictable! </p>
<p>Anyway, EP&E is a cool major, but a bit restrictive...the types of courses you have to take are narrower than in, say, poli sci. Honestly, only do it if your main interest (like what you want to write about for senior essay) fits into all three categories. Don't do it just because it's selective!</p>
<p>What courses would you need to take in high school to get accepted into this program? Would you be able to get accepted to this program even without having taken economics (or as a SL in the IB Diploma Programme)?</p>
<p>Seems to attract the former DS’ers.</p>
<p>You can’t even apply to be an EP&E major until you are a sophomore at Yale, so there is plenty of time to decide.

<p>My froco was in EP&E, and he advised us not to go into it. He said it was a good major while he took it, but they recently revised the requirements so that the class selection in less flexible, and it removed much of the joy from taking it. He made it sound like it was a shadow of it’s former self, and one would be served getting their degree for law school in another discipline.</p>
<p>It’s a good major for very career driven students who are also extremely curious, because they don’t really have time to go as deep into issues as you might expect. My understanding is that the synergy between all three fields has to be improved.</p>
