What it isPolitical 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 the mind and body work together, and how social and environmental factors shape health. This program pairs psychology courses with practical training in areas like human biology, health policy, and social work. The co-op option lets you do paid work terms at healthcare or research settings alongside your studies. It suits people curious about mental health, public health, or how systems support people's wellbeing.You study how cities and regions develop, grow, and change, combining geography, planning, politics, and social policy to understand urban and rural environments. This program emphasizes the interconnected nature of these topics rather than treating them as separate disciplines. Co-op work terms are available, letting you gain practical experience in planning offices, government agencies, or development organizations alongside your coursework.
