The Philosophy, Politics, and Economics minor offers students an interdisciplinary approach to understanding current global challenges. Students will familiarize themselves with common concepts and modes of analysis within the fields of philosophy, politics and economics. The culminating seminar will engage students in cohesively applying the common concepts and modes of analysis to a specific policy problem in Armenia, paying close attention to the normative implications that arise. The Philosophy, Politics, and Economics minor will complement a student’s studies with an understanding of how philosophy, politics, and economics can be best utilized to inform policy decisions and shape solutions. The Minor will prepare students for a variety of careers in public service, law, business and development, as well as further studies in philosophy or the social sciences.
