Political and Moral Philosophy
Students in this concentration analyze policy and policy making through a lens of political and moral philosophy. The emphasis is on the foundational philosophies upon which public and private policy-making institutions are based. Students pursuing this concentration consider Ancient Greek, Enlightenment, and Modern political ideas and take into account questions of morality in policy making. These basic issues can then be applied to issues within fields such as medicine, law, business, education, politics, the non-profit sector, and the environment.
