intro THE WORLD NEEDS THINKERS!
student profile INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY AND A CRITICAL APPROACH
what will you study? THREE KNOWLEDGE AREAS TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORLD
An interest in the world of politics, economics and sociology. An interest in the analysis and review of political theo ries and socioeconomic data. An interdisciplinary vocation for understanding modern society and socioeconomic dynamics. An eagerness to improve public policy. An aptitude for communi cation, debate, dialogue and initiative, and the ability to work as part of a team.
By studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics at the same time, students gain a greater understanding of each one and the ability to perform a comprehensive analysis and diagnosis of the modern world. The Philosophy component helps students develop critical reasoning skills, synthesize logical arguments and apply rigorous judgment. The Politics component analyzes the importance and scope of public policy, which helps students understand the underpinnings of society, the impact of institutions, and more specific matters such as why some countries go to war while others do not. The Economics component explores the underlying structure of today’s society and how a country’s resources are distributed.
