Political Economy

The political economy program has four main goals:

     1) to provide an understanding of various ideologies and methodologies, and how they are embodied in political and economic institutions;
     2) to provide insight into the processes and accompanying institutions in which the political economy is organized both domestically and globally;
     3) to develop a set of conceptual tools for analyzing political and economic processes and institutions;
     4) to build a foundation for reaching informed judgments on issues of public policy.

No major is offered in political economy.
