What it isYou study political systems, government, and law together, starting with foundational courses in politics and criminology before moving toward law-focused courses in later years. This combines subjects rather than being a full law degree, so it prepares you for law school or careers in legal fields without the professional legal qualification itself. It suits students interested in how laws and governments work who want to explore the field before committing to law school.Political Science at Glendon is the study of government, power, policy-making, and how societies are organized and governed. You examine these topics through focused lenses like politics in specific regions (Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East), international development, law and criminology, or social policy. The iBA option adds a mandatory year abroad and deeper integration of language study, making it suited to students who want to engage with politics globally and become fluent in French.This certificate program examines crime and justice systems across different regions of the world — Asia, Europe, the Americas, and beyond. You study how legal systems, law enforcement, and crime vary by culture and geography rather than focusing on one country's approach. It suits people interested in international development, human rights, global policy work, or understanding criminal justice from a comparative angle.This program lets you study how societies, economies, and cultures interact across borders, drawing from fields like history, anthropology, economics, and international development. You'll examine global issues through multiple lenses rather than specializing in one discipline. It suits students curious about world affairs and international problems who want flexibility to explore different approaches before deciding on a deeper focus.
