What it is	Political Science is the study of government, law, political systems, and how power works in society. You'll examine Canadian and international politics, political theory, and institutions from multiple angles. This four-year program suits people who want a broad foundation in politics before deciding whether to specialize in law, policy, international relations, or public administration.	A social sciences degree at King's combines the study of people, societies, and human behaviour through subjects like history, politics, economics, psychology, and sociology. You choose a major or specialization within one of these fields — for example, criminology, social work, or economics — and develop deep knowledge in that area while taking supporting courses across the social sciences. This program suits students curious about how societies work, why people act as they do, and what shapes institutions and policy.
