Program description
Do you care deeply about your local and larger communities? Do you have an interest in national and international issues like globalization and human rights? Political science is for you if you are interested in issues such as community self-governance.
Political scientists study how people interact in groups. We investigate conflict and cooperation theories and practices at all levels of social life. Understand the organization and operation of the communities to which you belong.
Improve your critical thinking, research, and communication abilities. Topics in political philosophy, comparative politics, Canadian government, and international politics will be covered.
