Major

<p>My interests lie in Economics, Mathematics, and Philosophy. Up till now, I was most interested in schools like Brown and Wesleyan that have an Economics-Mathematics major, where I would be able to either double major or minor in Philosophy.</p>

<p>However, out of the blue, I discovered the PPE program - Philosophy, Politics, and Economics. This major sounds very interesting but I am unable to find more information on it. Amazingly, it is offered at basically my favorite and most practical (in terms of chance) school - Wesleyan. </p>

<p>Does anyone know anything more about this major? Would I be able to study Economics with a math concentration and Philosophy as much as I would if I majored in Econ-Math and doubled or minored in Phil?</p>

<p>This is a pretty specific question, so thanks to anyone that can answer it.</p>

<p>Wikipedia: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy,_Politics_and_Economics%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy,_Politics_and_Economics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>It has two links to the PPE programs at Oxford and UPenn.</p>

<p>Your course emphasis will probably differ from school to school. If you go to UT, for example, you can create your own PPE major through the Humanities program: <a href="http://www.utexas.edu/cola/progs/humanities/contracts/sample_contract/#ppe%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.utexas.edu/cola/progs/humanities/contracts/sample_contract/#ppe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>That's funny I was just looking at the Wikipedia article and didn't think to use those links. Thanks.</p>
