Overview |
| The major
in Political Philosophy, Policy and Law (PPL) provides undergraduate students
with an opportunity to pursue intensive study of the connections between
political philosophy and legal theory, legal thought and historical change,
law and public policy. The major is based firmly on the view that the
study of law has a rich humanistic tradition and that its pursuit encourages
sustained reflection on fundamental values. Because the domain of law,
policy and political philosophy is huge, a principal objective of the
major is the integration of diverse disciplinary perspectives. But interdisciplinary
dialogue on political and legal ideas, processes, doctrine, and policies
can be fruitful only if the participants engage one another from a position
of disciplinary strength. The requirements for the major in PPL are grounded
on this presumption. To view the current (revised) requirements of the PPL program, please click here. [Microsoft Word Document] |
