Bachelor of Arts - International Relations

Students studying International Relations will be challenged to broaden their perspectives and their understanding of the forces shaping global politics, while examining the causes and solutions to conflicts between states, as well as other forces that transcend borders to link or divide global communities. Our program draws on scholarly expertise from across the university to offer students a variety of views and perspectives on what constitutes International Relations. While the program is housed within the Political Science department, students are encouraged to take courses in areas like History, Economics, Criminology, and Sociology. This cross-disciplinary approach provides students with a breadth of knowledge and allows them to analyze and understand International Relations through different lenses.

International applicants must demonstrate academic strength in a high school program of college/university preparatory courses with subject distribution, other minimum requirements, and academic standing comparable to that required of Canadian applicants. Criteria such as academic achievement and rank in class will also be considered in admission decisions.
