What it is	Political Science at York is the study of how governments work, how power is organized, and how social policies affect people's lives. The international version (iBA) includes a work term abroad, while the regular BA lets you do optional co-op placements in government, advocacy, or policy organizations. This program suits people interested in understanding politics, law, social change, or working in public service.	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.	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.
