Specialization in Politics, Philosophy and Economics, BA (Honours)
Queen’s new Politics-Philosophy-Economics (PPE) program provides students with a set of diverse and flexible skills for the study of social issues and societal responses. The questions that motivate the study of politics, philosophy, and economics share important similarities, including their social nature, the analytical and critical thinking required to address them, and their complexity and multi-dimensionality. The tools and perspectives may be different in each discipline, but the questions asked are based on common interests. The PPE program provides students with varied approaches to probe, investigate, and resolve fundamental issues of social importance.
