<p>I was just wondering what schools have some interdisciplinary major that includes economics and politics.
The only variations I know of are Yale (Ethics, Politics, and Economics), U Penn (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics), and Georgetown (Political Economy). </p>
<p>Please let me know if you know of any! Thanks!</p>
<p>Williams and Tulane are two schools with Political Economy majors too.</p>
<p>any more suggestions are more than welcome!</p>
<p>Harvard has an interdisciplinary concentration called "Social Studies."
Yes, the name sounds very junior high... but it actually is a rigorous,
honors-only major in which you are required to write a senior thesis.</p>
<p>You basically design your own curriculum using any courses from
Government, Economics, History, Sociology, Psychology, Anthropology.
It is NOT supposed to be a random smattering of disjointed courses, but
supposed to be integrated around some common, unifying theme.
In addition to courses, you take small group tutorials and reading courses
related to your theme... you are required to write both a junior mini-thesis
and a senior-thesis.</p>
<p>See the program website: <a href="http://www.fas.harvard.edu/%7Esocstud/%5B/url%5D">http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~socstud/</a></p>
<p>Perhaps Labor Economics at Cornell or Public Finance at Boston U</p>
<p>There are dozens and dozens and dozens of schools where you could structure a major to include both political science and economics. In many cases, a political science major requires Econ courses; the two fields are thoroughly intertwined.</p>
<p>I would not worry about that at all in choosing a college. Concentrate on the big stuff.</p>
<p>Oxford has its world famous PPE (Philosophy, Politics and Economics) program.</p>
<p>Are these interdisciplinary majors, or are they housed in the Hx , econ or poli sci depts? Any reccs besides Tulane in the warmer climates?</p>
<p>Denison offers Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) as a major.</p>
<p>I think Pomona and Claremont McKenna each have something. Berkeley has the Political Economics of Idustrial Socieities. <a href="http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/majors/polecis.html%5B/url%5D">http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/majors/polecis.html</a>
Also, keep in mind schools that allow to create your own major probably have had such inquiries and will have acceptable "tracks" for these subjects. And you might want to consider double majoring or major/minoring. But then again, these programs are unique and offer something different. Your currect career goals should probably influence whether you go to an interdisciplinary program or a traditional one, as should the schools you're interested in. You might find one without a program that you love, and this might not keep you from going.</p>
