What it is	Political Science is the study of government systems, political behaviour, and public policy. At Windsor, you can focus on international development, domestic politics, or social policy, and you have the option to add a French specialization or a law and politics focus. The program includes a co-op work term, letting you apply what you learn in a real workplace before graduating. It suits people interested in understanding how societies are governed and who want hands-on experience in government, advocacy, or policy roles.	This program lets you design your own degree by combining courses from multiple fields — anthropology, chemistry, English, history, philosophy, law, media studies, and others — rather than following a single major. You choose which subjects to focus on and how much depth in each, creating a customized path that suits your interests. It works well if you're curious about several areas and want flexibility to explore across disciplines before committing to one specialization.	This program combines the study of how societies work — through anthropology, politics, and social policy — with practical skills in starting and running social enterprises that solve community problems. Unlike a straight business degree, it focuses specifically on ventures designed for social impact rather than profit alone. It suits people who want to understand social change deeply and turn ideas into real projects that help communities.
