| 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. | You study how people should live together, focusing on moral reasoning and political systems. Ethics examines what is right and wrong; political philosophy explores how governments should be organized and what justice means. This program suits you if you want to think critically about values, laws, and society rather than train for a specific profession, and if you're comfortable with reading, writing, and debating complex ideas. | You study philosophy, politics, and current social issues together rather than in separate programs. This interdisciplinary approach lets you examine ethical problems — like inequality, justice, and policy — from multiple angles at once. It suits people who want to think deeply about society's problems and aren't sure whether philosophy, political science, or social studies fits them best. |
