Political Economy
Investigate the interaction between the political, economic, social, and cultural aspects of a society.
We are a diverse group of scholars who investigate the interaction between the political, economic, social, and cultural aspects of a society. We are committed to providing a rigorous, multidisciplinary approach to help you make sense of a complex world in which a multitude of economic and political interests conflict at the local, national, and international levels. This experience will sharpen your critical thinking and your understanding of key ongoing issues throughout the world. Potential employers and graduate programs seek liberal arts graduates who have strong analytical skills and knowledge of contemporary events; a political economy minor offers evidence of such preparation.
