About the program
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.
Career Possibilities
Political Science graduates work in the municipal, provincial, and federal government, as research and policy analysts, senior bureaucrats, members of diplomatic and foreign services, customs officers, employment insurance officers, police officers, social workers, community activists, electoral returning officers, program managers, project officers, and communications officers. Some graduates work in legal firms, public opinion research companies, the media, labour unions, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
