The UNC PPE Program attracts intellectually curious students who appreciate the importance of combining rigorous academic analysis with a principled and comprehensive understanding. We offer a minor, and is mirrored, at Duke, by a certificate program structured around the same educational goals and program requirements. Since its foundation, the PPE program has been especially popular with students who are eager to challenge themselves and are concerned to understand the forces that work to shape our social and political environment.

The PPE Minor requires five courses: a PPE Gateway course, one course in each of Philosophy, Politics, and Economics, and then, usually in one’s senior year, a PPE Capstone. Seminar. Most of these courses satisfy General Education requirements and, taken together, their value is much greater than the sum of their parts.
