The Political Science Department offers a wide range of courses that consider such issues as:
relations between nation-states; the movement, cooperation and interactions of groups of people across state borders; the interactions between state and society; the nature of power and authority; and the impact of such things as political parties, interest groups, social classes and other societal organizations.
This program leads to a Bachelor of Arts (3-year, 4-year, or Honours) with a Major in Political Science. We also offer a Certificate in Public Policy & Administration. Students taking an undergraduate degree in another Major may choose to add a Minor in Political Science as a secondary area of interest.
