Overview

Restoring the logical and historical connections among philosophical, political and economic thought, Transylvania’s PPE program engages students with both the way these disciplinary streams flow into each other and the way they (often fruitfully) clash.

Transylvania University Philosophy Politics and Economics (PPE) degree program offers a distinctive interdisciplinary course of study found at few other American universities—and at no other university anywhere in precisely the way Transylvania has configured it. The program’s course offerings draw from across the university’s curricula. Its internships afford students real-world experiences. And the Transylvania capstone PPE courses offer advanced work in philosophy, political science and economics, helping students weave the interdisciplinary lines of their study into a senior seminar or senior project.
