Ppe/epe

<p>I apologize if this subject has been addressed already, but I waded through the first two pages of this subforum and didn't see anything relevant.</p>

<p>I am a high school senior currently applying to several colleges. My main interest in terms of study is philosophy, but I am also looking into various PPE (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics) and EPE (Ethics, Politics, and Economics) programs. So, I have a few questions.</p>

<p>1) What kind of careers (or further grad study paths) do PPE/EPE majors usually go into? I know it's impossible to make a sweeping generalization of an entire major, but I want to get a gist of what kind of future PPE/EPE prepares you for.
2) If possible, could someone provide or link me to a ranking of various PPE/EPE programs at different schools? There doesn't seem to be much comparative information on Google.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<li>you can do so much with the major; that's what's so interesting about it. government, law, business, journalism/communications are some options, and then you have the grad programs in philosophy, economics, or political science. you can also concentrate in a particular section (in your case i'm assuming philosophy as your concentration).<br></li>
<li>i'm sorry, but i don't know of any ranking or list of the programs, but i do know that penn, yale, and oxford are the more prominent schools that offer the major. plus, if you're not interested in any of these schools or didn't apply, you can always double (or even triple) major at the college you end up at. good luck.</li>

<p>I've been doing some research lately:</p>

<p>(in addition to what's already been said)</p>

<p>Harvard - labeled as "social studies"
Claremont McKenna
Pomona College</p>

<p>That's all I've come across. You could also try finding schools that have great econ, poli sci, and philo depts and pick and choose your classes. Amherst, for example, doesn't have any real requirements for necessary courses beyond your major so you'd probably have more freedom there. Middlebury and NYU Gallatin would probably be good places to look into as well. Good luck</p>
