Application

The process is simple. You will be asked to complete a short application:

 

You will be asked to include:

  1. Electronic copies of your transcripts from all undergraduate institutions you have attended. 
  2. A brief (250-350 word) statement describing your interest in PPE. Make sure to explain why a PPE major will serve your interests better than, for example, a major in economics or political science with a minor in philosophy, or a major in philosophy with a minor in economics and/or political science. Also, tell us what you hope to do with your PPE major after you graduate. 

You will be asked to upload these documents as .pdfs in the application.
