BA Programs in Social Sciences PPE
Bachelor’s degrees are typically four-year programs designed to be rigorous enough to qualify graduates for careers in the areas of their specialization. A Bachelor of Arts teaches the information necessary to do work in many liberal arts fields.
What is a BA in PPE? PPE, or philosophy, politics and economics, is a field that tends to be heavy on theory and abstract concepts. The coursework is suited to those who are very literate and enjoy writing papers. It focuses on the skills necessary for debate, such as ethical reasoning and logic. The politics portion focuses on theoretical texts and their modern application, providing a strong foundation for understanding the origins of competing political theories. The economics courses help illustrate the financial impact of political choices.
A degree in PPE can grant graduates strong critical thinking skills and the ability to analyze theories and policies. Graduates usually are skilled in public discourse and persuasive arguing.
PPE programs’ tuition varies depending on the institution offering the degree. Look into the cost of tuition per semester, and be aware that this degree generally takes four years to complete.
A Bachelor in PPE is especially geared toward preparation for a career in politics. The focus on political theory and economics is perfect for those who plan to work in politics or leadership positions. Local politics positions such as mayor or comptroller make use of the skills taught in the program. Non-governmental organizations that deal with politics benefit from impassioned leadership in the role of director as much as government organizations do. Lawyers make good use of the logic and rhetoric taught in PPE courses. PPE is a broad academic subject that is a good choice for those who are interested in pursuing academics as a career.
PPE is a program that has its roots in England, but programs are now available across the world, including online options. Search for your program below and contact directly the admission office of the school of your choice by filling in the lead form.
