| Description | Formally established in 1964 with roots dating back to 1887, the Department of Political Studies has one of the largest and most popular undergraduate programs in the Faculty of Arts & Science with an average annual enrollment rate of 800 students in nearly 70 courses across four degree plans. Every year, 200 students graduate with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Political Studies after spending four years learning from a diverse group of faculty and teaching fellows who are leading experts in their respective fields. Undergraduate students in the Department of Political Studies learn to think critically about the distribution of power and resources, and how these ideological and physical distributions inform systems of governance, political behaviour, and public policies. Course topics across all years examine facets of political theory, national politics, and international politics. | | |
