Minor in Philosophy, Economics and Politics

Minor in Philosophy, Economics and Politics

The minor in Philosophy, Economics and Politics (PEP) aims at introducing students to a wide range of approaches to understand the social and human world we live in and to develop skills useful for a range of career opportunities in national and international organizations. It would particularly interest and enthuse those students who wish to complement their core expertise in science and engineering with a good grasp of the humanities and social sciences. As a multi-disciplinary minor, this option will provide a judicious mix of knowledge in social sciences (economics, sociology and politics) and the humanities (philosophy) that would enable students to draw connections among political, economic, and social phenomena as well as equip them with the necessary skills to think through complex challenges of our society in a creative and critical manner.
