Wheaton Center for Faith, Politics & Economics' International Study Trip 2019, in Ankor Wat, Cambodia

Wheaton Center for Faith, Politics & Economics (FPE)

Wheaton Center for Faith, Politics & Economics exists to advance the teaching of Wheaton College students and the greater community in the understanding of market economies, representative democracies, limited government and the redeeming effect of the Christian worldview on the practice of business, government and politics.

The Wheaton Center for Faith, Politics & Economics (FPE) was founded in 2008. It is America's only pro-free enterprise, pro-limited government, pro-market, pro-representative democracy center based on Christian principles.  It is student focused and seeks to show how our political economic system works by helping fund summer internships, travel to global locations in the summer to meet with church, political and economic leaders, and engage with well-known speakers every other year.
