哲学, Politics and Economics

How shall we govern ourselves, deal with one another and value the planet’s resources? How will we resolve disparities between the haves and the have nots? In our interconnected yet divided world, these are critical issues. 哲学, 政治 and economics is an interdisciplinary program bringing together faculty from 政治, business and religious studies to examine the way the world works.

“A Carroll student can be well-rounded while still completing their coursework.”
——Sami Seybold, 18岁
