| What it is | This program focuses on how governments work, political systems, and the policies that shape society. You study political theory, institutions, and social policy rather than just current events or history. The co-op option lets you work in government, non-profits, or advocacy organizations while you study, giving you real experience alongside classroom learning. It suits people who want to understand power structures and contribute to public decision-making. | 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. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
