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.	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 Bachelor of Arts is a three- or four-year undergraduate degree where you study subjects in the humanities, social sciences, or sciences — at Laurier Brantford, that means choices like English, anthropology, computer science, creative writing, or environmental studies. You can focus on one major or combine two. This program suits students who want broad knowledge across disciplines and enjoy writing, analysis, and critical thinking rather than hands-on lab or professional training.
