<p>I've recently developed an interest in this major - PPE.</p>
<p>I know, thanks to Wikipedia, that it is offered at Yale, UPenn, Wesleyan, Pomona, and Claremont McKenna. </p>
<p>Is anyone aware of any other competitive universities or colleges that offer PPE as a major?</p>
<p>Duke offers it as a certificate. It's like a major, but instead of needing 10 classes to fulfill the requirements, you only have to take 8.</p>
<p>Edit--Here's a link to the website:

<p>It's one of the most popular self-designed Independent Interdisciplinary majors at Brandeis. :) I know this only because I'm probably going to be IIS.</p>

DRab:
Look for schools that allow you design your own major and those with good political science, economics, and philosophy programs, especially those which allow you to or suggest that you specialize within a subfield (such as political philosophy). Really, you have to ask yourself what you like about the major, and I bet in many cases you can do something similar at many schools by majoring in political science or economics or philosophy and taking certain elective classes on your own, or find a school which allows you to design your own major (and many do).

<p>Oxford University in England. Like most social sciences/humanities BA degrees in the UK, it takes only 3 years to complete. Oxford/Cambridge engineering and natural sciences undergraduate degrees normally require 4 years of study though, like in the US. </p>
