Overview

The only stand-alone P.P.E. graduate program outside of Europe, the master’s program at St. John’s incorporates disciplinary approaches from across the liberal arts and sciences. Courses in Philosophy emphasize individual rights and dignity while also cultivating a personal sense of responsibility not only to other individuals but to society as a whole. Government and Politics and Economics and Finance courses highlight issues of social justice and foster a commitment to finding ways, through public policy, of helping those that are least fortunate. The Master of Arts (M.A.) in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics is offered at St. John’s University.

With an interdisciplinary degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics, you may pursue careers in law, business or public policy in the public and private sectors. You may also continue your studies at the doctoral level and enroll in Ph.D. or J.D. degree programs.
