U-PPE-C - Philosophy, Politics and Economics Certificate

The interdisciplinary Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Program at Duke is designed to enable students to secure an understanding of the common foundations and the intersection of methods employed in normative inquiry by the three disciplines that make up the program. Political philosophy and political economy face similar questions and exploit common resources, and the alternative answers they provide to these questions are grounded in competing philosophical theories. Students intending to major in any of the three disciplines, or for that matter in any other discipline with an impact on public institutions and civil society, national, and international governance, and economic development, will find the certificate’s program of studies valuable. 

The certificate in the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Program is composed of six courses, including two cross-listed courses, one that functions as a gateway to the certificate program, a second that figures as its capstone, and four other classes in economics, philosophy, and political science.
