<p>Does anyone know of schools with programs similar to Yale's Ethics, Politics, and Economics major? The major seemed pretty cool and is definitely something I would shoot for if admitted, however if I don't get accepted I would like to apply to other schools that may have something like this. </p>
<p>Anyone have any ideas?</p>
<p>EPE (Ethics Politics Economics) is the same as PPE (Philosophy Politics Economics) and this program is the most famous at Oxford University if you were considering schools in the UK. I think Penn also has PPE. Canadian schools like York also offer it.</p>
<p>Duke. it isn't offered as a major, but PPE is available as a certificate program.</p>
<p>Good question. Any other schools guys?</p>
<p>I did a little research on PPE programs now that I know the two are the same and I found very few US universities that have this as a major. Eastern Oregon and Western Washington surprisingly both carry the degree program as does UPenn. I'll keep looking..</p>
<p>Thank you mono.</p>
<p>I posted this in another thread: </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>The PPE program can be crafted at any school basically. You just have to take the right courses. I know Columbia has joint Economics-Philosopy, Economics-Political science majors which are kind of like 1.5 majors. A lot of kids are able to do Econ-Political Science + Philosophy Concentrators which are basically more or less 3 degrees!</p>
<p>I seriously think that 1/3 of the freshman class comes in wanting to do EP&E, and then realizes that it's not worth it unless the topic on which you want to write your senior essay encompasses all three areas. Otherwise, it makes sense to major in one of the three! EP&E offers you very little flexibility in choosing major courses -- it, unlike most other majors, has required courses and a fairly narrow core curriculum. That being said, it's a great program, but only if it really fits your main area of interest.</p>
