政治学文学士（法学前）

政府政策几乎影响着我们生活的方方面面
Government policies influence virtually every aspect of our lives, from housing to education to crime. Our Political Science program studies the institutions, ideas, practices, and power that shape government and policy at all levels. Students will gain a thorough understanding of political systems - with a particular focus on Canadian politics - and overarching notions of freedom, equality, and justice. Our goal is to provide a well-rounded Political Science education by applying both theoretical and practical modes of analysis to examine sociological, economic, and historical contexts.<br> If you have an interest in political systems abroad, you will also have the opportunity to explore the politics of America, Africa, Europe, and Asia. Additionally, you will study: International Relations, Political Theory, Law and Politics, Public Administration and Policy, Indigenous Governance, Comparative Politics.<br>The Department of Political Science is one of the original Departments of this University. We are proud of the legacy that has been left by our emeriti Professors and those others who have come and gone over the past 35 years. We are also extremely proud of the programs that we continue to develop every year. Our full-time and part-time Faculty have consistently responded to the changes in the study and practice of politics in exciting and creative ways. We have always been a student-centered Department because we believe that our students must be prepared to enter the workforce with highly developed skills in judgement and communication.
