Background Information:
A liberal arts education aims to provide students with the tools to understand the world as it has been and as it will be. Juniata 's program in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics combines the perspectives of three core liberal arts disciplines that offer powerful tools for understanding. By working across traditional disciplinary boundaries, students are encouraged to question their own assumptions, to become independent in their quest for knowledge, and to form the pattern for a lifetime of learning. The program aims to enable students to be thoughtful citizens of the 21st century world, and to prepare them for careers in business, government, or education. Students take a core group of courses in each department, develop a concentration in one area, and participate in two interdisciplinary seminars.
