About Bachelor of Arts and Science - Political Science & Psychology (Optional Co-op)
For the Bachelor of Arts and Science, students must complete two majors: an Arts major, and a Science major.
Political Science
Political Science is the systematic study of government, politics and political behaviour. It studies how a society governs itself at all levels and various ideas about how it should be governed in the future.
Political Science students will study how political conflict is organized and resolved in the “real world.” Students will look at how rulers are chosen, governmental decisions are taken and how decision-making processes are organized. Students will learn how governments design and implement their laws and policies in Canada and abroad.
Students will also consider how political leaders understand their obligations towards one another and how decisions are shaped by different views of “what’s right,” “what works” and “what’s possible” in different circumstances.
The Department of Political Science offers four sub-fields of study and encourages students to choose a variety of courses from each area to ensure they gain a broad view of the discipline. These are: Canadian Politics, Comparative Politics, International Relations, and Political Theory.
Psychology
Psychology delves into what makes people tick. Psychologists study the relationship between mind and behaviour by investigating the nature of thought processes and behaviors in humans and other animals.
Psychologists also study the evolutionary, social and cultural factors affecting the development of human thoughts and behaviors, focusing on topics that have a direct bearing on people's day-to-day experience.
A major in Psychology will help students develop skills in analyzing and interpreting complex material, particularly as it relates to behaviour. Students will learn theories of how people interpret the world and act in it, as well as theories of human behaviour.
Psychology students will learn from those at the forefront of psychological research. The faculty members are regularly published in the top journals and make an ongoing contribution to an ever-advancing field.
