Experiential Education Requirement
All Political Economy majors are required to fulfill an experiential education requirement. This involves some element of community service, participation in the political process, or taking part in the making of or analysis of public policy beyond a purely academic engagement. This requirement is most often fulfilled through an internship or a winter study course.
