This course is designed to build on the “Gateway” course and help students synthesize major themes from their individual course work in philosophy, political science, and economics such as political authority, property, justice, information aggregation mechanisms like markets and voting, constitutions, and more. The Introduction to PPE course is a prerequisite for the Capstone course. The PPE Capstone course is only open to PPE minors.
Additionally, these major themes will be applied to a policy area or policy areas determined by the instructor. For example, those policy areas may include one or several of health, environment, education, poverty, law, and foreign intervention.
This course will be offered each spring. The curricular request for this course has been submitted and the course will be taught under a special topics code (ECO 3933) pending assignment of a permanent number.
Note: While not a requirement, to get the most from this class it should be completed after the other 12 hours of the minor have been completed.
