A degree in Political Science equips students to see the implications of the changing world around us, learn about the political dynamics that are shaping Canada and other countries, and to have a well-developed understanding of the values and ideologies that unpin political systems around the world. It also prepares students for careers in government, law, the non-governmental sector, media, and business.

Our faculty members specialize in a range of different fields, including Canadian politics, comparative politics, political theory and philosophy, international relations, gender and politics, Indigenous and northern governance, and public administration and local government.  In addition to BA and MA programs in Political Science, the Department offers innovative joint BA programs with Global and International Studies, History, Geography, English, Women’s Studies, and Environmental and Sustainability Studies.  Students can also minor in Political Science or Philosophy and complete a certificate program in Local Government Administration.
