Students listening to a lecture

Center for Ethics, Economics and Public Policy

The Center for Ethics, Economics and Public Policy (CEEPP) is an interdisciplinary center that promotes research and education about the institutional and moral framework of a free society.

The CEEPP supplements USD’s curriculum in Philosophy, Politics and Economics with a series of student-focused events, including our annual Southern California Undergraduate PPE Colloquium, our annual PPEL Summer School (with Chapman University and the University of Arizona) and our annual sponsorship to the national Duke/UNC PPE colloquium. You can learn more about these events under Our Events section. We also run a series of public lectures, panel discussions and debates, a few of which you can view under our Past Events section.
