| What it is | You study how people and societies should organize themselves, and what makes choices right or wrong. Ethics and political philosophy blend thinking about moral principles with questions about power, justice, law, and governance. This program suits students who want to understand the foundations of politics and ethics through careful argument and debate rather than through policy work or management training. | This program lets you study how societies, economies, and cultures interact across borders, drawing from fields like history, anthropology, economics, and international development. You'll examine global issues through multiple lenses rather than specializing in one discipline. It suits students curious about world affairs and international problems who want flexibility to explore different approaches before deciding on a deeper focus. | Political Science at Ontario Tech combines the study of government systems, power, and policy with practical work experience. You'll examine how political institutions function across different countries and explore related areas like law, international development, and social policy. The program includes mandatory co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid positions in government, non-profits, or policy organizations, giving you real-world experience alongside theory. | Social Sciences is the study of how people, societies, and economies work. You choose from nine subject areas including anthropology, economics, history, law, geography, politics, and sociology, and can combine them however you want rather than following one fixed path. This program suits students curious about human behaviour, institutions, and the world around them who want flexibility to explore multiple disciplines before specializing. |
