康卡迪亞大學

Political science teaches you how the world works. You will meet the world up close: in class, in action and in person. Our program, among Concordia's most popular degree choices, is well-connected to the world of politics and political thinkers, and caters to students of many languages and cultures, in one of Canada’s most diverse, politically aware universities. You’ll learn to question, reason, and think for yourself. You will pick and choose classes from our five areas of specialization: international politics; comparative politics; Canadian and Quebec politics; public policy and administration; political theory. Together, we’ll discuss relationships between power, policy, theory, nationalism, international relations, and many other facets of contemporary life. There will be opportunities to travel to Ottawa to meet ministers, senators or ambassadors, or to attend talks with lecturers from Africa, Latin America and Asia. Concentrations: Honours in Political Science (60 credits); Major in Political Science (42 credits); Minor in Political Science (24 credits). The Political Science Co-op program gives academically strong students a chance to bridge university life and the working world by completing paid work terms. Co-op work terms make it possible for you to work in: policy evaluation and analysis; comparing and evaluating corporate social responsibility policies, including tracking news stories about a corporation or government to assess the public's reception of policies and actions; analyzing government regulation on a theme or topic across countries or time. Many of our graduates work in public positions in Ottawa or Quebec. Many others work outside government, as lobbyists and social justice campaigners, or pursue careers abroad with the European Union or the United Nations. There’s a wide range of activities where a political science degree is extremely helpful, such as: public administration; politics; domestic and international law; running non-governmental organizations; public opinion research.
