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.	You study how societies should be organized and governed, combining philosophy, law, politics, and social policy to explore questions about justice, rights, and ethical decision-making. Unlike a straight philosophy or political science program, this one deliberately weaves together multiple disciplines to help you see how abstract moral principles connect to real laws and policies. It suits people who want to think deeply about how the world should work and aren't content with single-subject answers.
