<p>This is pretty awesome. Oxford in the UK is most famous for this offering, but some leading universities in the US (Duke, Penn, Princeton, UNC and Yale to name a few) offer it. </p>

<p>With its top 5 Philosophy and Political Science departments and top 10 Economics department, this program should really be incredible.</p>

<p>That’s awesome! Michigan just keeps getting better and better! On that note, won’t it be awesome if there’s a section on the ‘Public Ivy League’ with a listing of all the official public ivys on the front page of College Discussion? Probably just under the ‘Ivy League’ section. It’d be so cool! Just a thought. Alexandre, maybe you could push for this since you’re a super-moderator! :-)</p>

<p>^ why would we want to slap an ivy league label on Michigan? to make us feel better about ourselves?</p>

<p>Let me guess, its for future politicians?</p>

<p>avatar, we share the same page as Cal, Caltech, Chicago, Duke, Johns Hopkins, MIT, Northwestern and Stanford. We are in very good company.</p>

<p>Just read about this today… great, another major that I’d find very interesting making my decision that much harder.</p>

<p>God! CS + math/psychology/ppe/ee??? fuuuuuuuuuuu</p>

<p>Not enough time…</p>

Not to mention Rice, Wash U, UVA, Emory, Georgetown and Vandy…the non-Ivy page has more academic firepower than the Ivy League section if you ask me.:D</p>

<p>The PPE is a terrific program that epitomizes an interdisciplinary liberal arts education. My roommate really liked it because a lot of the ideas in these areas overlap and he felt that the joint certificate really made all the concepts come together in a meaningful way. You’ll be using the term “Prisoner’s Dilemma” more times over the course of your 4 years than you can count with PPE.;)</p>

<p>wow this seems like an excellent major! I was originally going to go for economics + pre-med (which was tough to decide on because I’m so interested in all of the social sciences and their ties to medicine) but PPE sounds amazing</p>

<p>When it comes to American Politics, Michigan is #1.</p>
