PHILOSOPHY, POLITICS, AND ECONOMICS PROGRAM

UBCO hosts one of the top PPE undergraduate programs in Canada. A highlight of the program is a chance to work on a research paper that is read by faculty from each of the three PPE disciplines. The program also features an exciting “PPE Conversations” speaker series, with prominent guest speakers such as Prof. Nadine Strossen (former President of the American Civil Liberties Union) and Prof. Jacob Levy (Chair, McGill Department of Political Science).
