Penn PPE

What is special about the Philosophy Politics Economics major at U Penn vs other schools like Duke or Pomona that have this same major? I plan on writing a bit about Philadelphia a historic location for political discussion but when I looked at the UPenn PPE website it mostly just talked about the benefits of PPE in comparison to other majors at UPenn. Can any current/former students help explain? Thanks!

Anyone in PPE at Penn?

I have no direct knowledge about the PPE major- your question reads as if you are looking for info in order to write your Why Penn essay and in that case I would advise against taking the track of “Philly as a historic location” as a reason why you are wanting to attend.

I would advise you to get specific about the classes, professors, research, programs within that major that draw you to Penn and intersect with your interests. If you want to add the “City of Philadelphia” aspect then research programs and internships in Philly that you could get involved with that would enhance your educational experience.
