Tip
The CTREE Slides (archive) link preserves the May 2026 conference walkthrough. It is useful for provenance, but the dashboard and paper-analysis files are the current research outputs.
Note
Working research map. Collection is incomplete; omission does not establish institutional absence. See Scope, Methods & Limitations. The live build uses a disposable working snapshot under outputs/dashboard_current; dated paper and conference freezes remain immutable. Simon’s wide-net rule applies: planned/future and legacy/deceased programs remain included when evidence supports the program, but are flagged rather than treated as ordinary active programs. The canonical registry has 350 confirmed undergraduate records; this academic-program dashboard contains 348. The Bates Civic Engagement Concentration and Ohio State Community Engaged Leader Certificate are retained canonically but excluded here as non-conventional, co-curricular, or general education pathways. Institutional entities appear on the Ecosystem Dashboard. Governed, credit-bearing noncredential arrangements appear on Curricular Initiatives. These universes have separate denominators.
This main page summarizes the documented undergraduate program collection. It counts confirmed undergraduate PPE, political economy, and civic thought/leadership programs, then summarizes what we know about their level, collection status, economics requirements, disciplinary balance, geography, and interpretation flags. The charts use project-coded categories rather than institutional self-labels, so they are best read as a comparative research map rather than as a directory of official program types. Program level, credential basis, and graduate-component flags describe the record structure used in this analysis.

Program Mix
This chart shows the shape of the undergraduate sample: whether confirmed programs are majors, minors, certificates, or other transcripted/approved undergraduate forms. A program counts once, regardless of size, enrollment, number of courses, or institutional prominence.
| Category | Program level | Programs |
|---|---|---|
| Civic thought / leadership | Minor | 84 |
| Civic thought / leadership | Major | 68 |
| Civic thought / leadership | Certificate | 19 |
| Civic thought / leadership | Concentration | 1 |
| Civic thought / leadership | Honors track | 1 |
| Civic thought / leadership | Joint degree pathway | 1 |
| PPE | Major | 73 |
| PPE | Minor | 14 |
| PPE | Certificate | 1 |
| Political economy | Major | 64 |
| Political economy | Minor | 20 |
| Political economy | Certificate | 2 |
CIP Code Mix
The tables below distinguish verified assignments from legacy or intake values. CIP is an administrative reporting classification, not our substantive program category and not a unique program identifier. A program may have several reported CIPs; it is still counted once in program-level totals. IPEDS Completions has no award level for a minor, so minor assignments are shown only when an official institutional/state source or reviewed administrator confirmation explicitly names both the minor and the code. Parent-program CIPs and explicit “no separate CIP” responses are kept as separate evidence states.
| CIP evidence status | Programs | Share of dashboard programs |
|---|---|---|
| Verified current program CIP | 41 | 11.8% |
| Multiple verified program CIPs | 1 | 0.3% |
| Verified institutional/state minor assignment | 4 | 1.1% |
| Known no separate CIP | 3 | 0.9% |
| Not recorded | 299 | 85.9% |
The 0 unverified legacy/intake values and 299 unrecorded cases are the remaining evidence queue. They are not evidence that an institution lacks an assignment. Exact-program codes, institutional minor assignments, parent-program context, and known no-separate-CIP cases are never collapsed into a single “confirmed” category.

Requirements Coverage
How much of the curriculum is currently coded across the included sample? Course-coded programs have enough requirement detail to support curriculum analysis. Structure-only and existence-only records remain in the census, but they should not be interpreted as having zero economics or zero non-economics requirements.
The methodological flags identify records that are analytically useful but not ordinary active undergraduate programs with fully captured requirements. They include planned or future programs, legacy/deceased programs, individualized pathways, accelerated BA/MA structures, co-curricular records, and records with missing requirement detail.
Economics Requirements
Economics requirement rates are computed only over course-coded programs. Programs with partial or existence-only collection are treated as missing here, not as requiring zero economics.
Disciplinary Balance
Each program’s required courses are assigned to one of three disciplinary vertices — Economics (E), Politics / Law (P), and Philosophy (Φ) — under a strict mapping that excludes integrative courses (civics, multi- disciplinary, PPE gateway courses) from the denominator. Programs with at least three clearly-classified required courses are classifiable and plotted here; the remainder are noted below. See analysis/simplex/SIMPLEX_PLAN.md for the full methodology.
Note
Provisional analysis. The discipline mapping is pending co-author review. The integrative-course fractional allocation (Tier 2) requires sign-off before use. Only the strict Tier 1 coordinates are shown here.
| Category | Classifiable | Low coverage | Unclassifiable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Civic thought / leadership | 41 | 37 | 96 |
| PPE | 84 | 2 | 2 |
| Political economy | 77 | 8 | 1 |
Geography
The map and state ranking show where the included undergraduate programs are located. They are useful for spotting geographic concentration and collection coverage, but they should not be read as an enrollment-weighted measure or as a complete national census of every adjacent civic/PPE initiative.

The dashboard is intentionally conservative about curricular conclusions: missing course requirements remain missing. Economics-requirement rates use the 332 course-coded programs as their denominator. The 16 structure-only or existence-only records remain in descriptive census totals and are excluded from curricular-rate denominators rather than treated as having zero requirements.
Site build and snapshot dates are distinct from source checks. See snapshot metadata; source dates are recorded with individual records.
