PPE 498 - Research & Analysis Seminar

Credits: (3)
The research and analysis seminar is a 3 credit course that will be taken in the fall semester of the senior year. It is a special topics course that will be rotated among faculty in the four departments. The course topic will include aspects of all four fields of study - philosophy, theology, politics and economics. The topic is determined by the professor’s area of expertise. The faculty member teaching this course must work with the students on research, writing and presenting on a topic in PPE. The students will research and write one theoretical paper using standards in the disciplines of philosophy and theology AND one social science analysis paper using standards in political science and economics. In doing so, this course acts as capstone for the integrated PPE major and it will polish the student’s communication skills. Prerequisite(s): PPE 200, PPE 300 and approval by the Director. (Fall)
