Academics
The Institute supports academic programs in the fields of political economy, ethics, and public policy. Since 1984, it has sponsored a highly acclaimed undergraduate program in political economy which brings together economists, historians, philosophers, and political scientists committed to moving beyond traditional boundaries of their disciplines in a common search for new insights and new ways of studying the interconnections of politics and economics. Currently, about 150 Tulane students annually enroll in the undergraduate political economy program, making it one of the most popular interdisciplinary majors at the university.
