Beginning in 2026, UMBC is offering a new Undergraduate Certificate program in Philosophy, Politics, Economics, and Law (PPEL). Here you can learn more about the purpose of this new program, the program requirements, and faculty and staff involved in the program.

If the PPEL Certificate seems like a good fit, you can reach out to the PPEL Program Director for more information, or go ahead and add the Certificate to your course of study by filling out and submitting the Declaration/Change of Major form.
