乔治·梅森大学（George Mason University）的PPE课程使学生可以在哲学，政治学和经济学的交汇点上追求主题。PPE模式起源于近一个世纪前的牛津。在美国，PPE计划越来越多，并且兴趣也在增加。由哲学系，经济系以及沙尔政策与政府学院联合提供的梅森计划是麦德龙特区的第一个PPE课程。梅森的学生PPE计划着手进行一项雄心勃勃的学习课程。在让学生熟悉这三个学科的每门课程之后，该课程围绕一系列课程进行了设计或重新设计，以涵盖哲学，政治学和经济学交叉学科的主题，并采用了强有力的跨学科方法。该课程的最
The PPE program at George Mason University allows students to pursue topics in the intersection of philosophy, political science, and economics. The PPE model originated at Oxford almost a century ago. In the US there are a growing number of PPE programs and interest is rising. Mason's program - which is offered jointly by the Department of Philosophy, the Department of Economics, and the Schar School of Policy and Government - is the first PPE program in the metro DC area.Students in Mason's PPE program embark on an ambitious course of study. After allowing students to familiarize themselves with each of the three disciplines, the program is centered around a series of courses that were designed or repurposed to cover topics in the intersection of philosophy, political science, and economics, and which adopt a robustly interdisciplinary approach. The program culminates in a capstone course that integrates insights from the entire program.In the process, you will develop core skills of perceptive argument, critical thinking, and clear and persuasive writing. Because of its focus on thoughtful reflection and clear reasoning, a degree in philosophy provides excellent preparation for a wide range of careers. Our graduates have gone on to work in law, public policy, education, business, some have gone onto graduate study and a few have become philosophy professors themselves. We hope that studying philosophy at Mason will help you reflect more deeply on your own values and on what you think makes for a meaningful and well-lived life.
