Overview
A UBC degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) from University of British Columbia draws together three of the most important fields in understanding our society and our world:
- Philosophy, which teaches logic, ethics and how to question critically
- Politics, which considers the interests and institutions that form public policies and the rules by which we are governed
- Economics, which encompasses how we make decisions as individuals and groups in our increasingly global world market
Placed together, these fields allow you to form a critical and informed basis to understand and interpret the world.
