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.	You study the causes, effects, and solutions to conflict at local, national, and global scales, drawing on geography, politics, development, and social policy. This program emphasizes understanding conflict through multiple disciplines rather than focusing narrowly on one field. It suits students interested in humanitarian work, policy analysis, diplomacy, or activism who want a broad foundation in how societies experience and resolve disputes.	Political Science at Glendon is the study of government, power, policy-making, and how societies are organized and governed. You examine these topics through focused lenses like politics in specific regions (Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East), international development, law and criminology, or social policy. The iBA option adds a mandatory year abroad and deeper integration of language study, making it suited to students who want to engage with politics globally and become fluent in French.
