About Bachelor of Arts - Political Studies
Political Studies looks at socio-political change, conflict and governance at all levels of society, from the local to the global stage. Political ideas and values mold society and shape the way one sees and thinks. Political Studies helps students understand why governments make the decisions they do, teaches them to critically evaluate these decisions and allows them to be an informed, active citizen. They are also provided with tools essential to creating and implementing policy change. As Political Studies, students will educate themselves in how political systems work, look at the sources of local, national and international conflict and grapple with current issues in political life.
In this program, three important areas of the discipline of political science are emphasized: Canadian politics (both national and regional), political thought (both classical and contemporary) and international affairs. Students are encouraged to sample from all these areas, to help them understand the political significance of globalization.
