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.
