Honours Bachelor of Arts in Political Science (Specialist) - Mississauga

Political science is fundamentally a study of power. Political science scholars and students focus on core concepts like authority, legitimacy, liberty, equality, citizenship, governance and justice. Building on philosophical and theoretical foundations, political scientists are able to shed light on pressing questions about nationalism and globalization, the sources of political conflict, the outcomes of distributive justice and the role of collaboration at all orders of governance from local to global. At UTM, political science students learn to tackle key concepts and learn skills through five subfields of the discipline: Political Theory, Canadian Politics, International Relations, Comparative Politics and Public Policy & Administration.In line with UTM’s core values, the Department of Political Science at UTM embraces community, creativity, communication, innovation and sustainability. These values are foundational and essential in our teaching and research.
