Politics affects everyone. It is through politics that the future of the world we inhabit is shaped. Aristotle called politics the master science because he recognized how wide and pervasive politics is. The interests of political scientists are diverse. They may include conflict at city hall or in the courtroom; the arguments and processes through which our national existence might be preserved; the collapse of Communism and the struggle to establish new political arrangements in its place; the role of pressure groups in shaping public policy; electoral reform; the control of civil servants; the rule of law among nations; the place of moral principle and national interest in the conduct of foreign policy; or how far any citizen might have the right or duty to disobey an unjust law. Political Science offers us the opportunity to become freer human beings and citizens because, whatever the subject of our immediate inquiry, the focus is always upon the ideas, institutions and processes that shape our lives.

The BA Honours program provides students with the opportunity for a more intensive examination of issues in the field.

Political Science may be combined at the Honours or Pass level with other disciplines, the choice depending upon the student's interests and capabilities. As well, it is possible, within the departmental offerings, to arrange a thematic program of study around a selection of courses built to suit the student's particular interests.

All students in Political Science especially those proceeding to graduate studies or to a career in the public service, are encouraged to become proficient in a language other than English, normally French. Students who develop interests in a particular geographical area are urged to select related courses in history, language and literature. MATH 1F92 provides a sound background in those skills often employed in modern social science research. Questions about the Political Science program should be directed to the Undergraduate Program Adviser.

Public Administration Co-operative (Co-op)
Public administration is the study of the political, legal and managerial dimensions of the public sector. Designed to equip students with the necessary skills, knowledge and practical experience to provide them with a competitive edge in seeking employment in the Federal, Provincial or Municipal levels of government, the Public Administration Co-op program combines academic and work terms over a four and one-half year period. Students spend two and one-half years in an academic setting studying political science with a specialization in public administration and public policy prior to their first work placement. In addition to the current fees for courses in academic study terms, co-op students are assessed an annual administration fee (see Schedule of Fees).

Students admitted to the Public Administration Co-op program must follow the Co-op program schedule. Failure to adhere to the schedule may result in removal from the Public Administration Co-op program. Eligibility to continue is based on the student's major average and non-major average. A student with a minimum 70 per cent major average and a minimum 60 per cent non-major average will be permitted to continue. A student with a major average lower than 70 percent will not be permitted to continue in the Public Administration Co-op program but may continue in the Public Administration stream. If a student subsequently raises his/her major average to 70 percent, the student may be readmitted to the Co-op program only if approved by the departmental Co-op Admissions Committee.

The Public Administration Co-op program designation will be awarded to those students who have honours standing and who have successfully completed a minimum of twelve months of Co-op work experience.

Collaborative Study in Policing and Criminal Justice
The Collaborative Studies in Policing and Criminal Justice program involves courses offered through Brock and Niagara College of Applied Arts and Technology. This four-year program combines training in policing and criminal justice with an education in a chosen academic discipline, which may be either Political Science, Psychology or Sociology. For students majoring in Political Science, this four-year program leads to a BA (Honours) in Political Scienceand a diploma in Police Foundations from Niagara College. The program caters to the increasing demand in society for professionals who possess both solid applied skills and the substantive knowledge needed to apply them to the areas of policing and criminal justice. Normally, this involves attending college after gaining a university degree, but the Brock and Niagara program combines the two in a single integrated package. Consult the Policing and Criminal Justice listing for further details. Enrolment is limited.

Program Notes

Students are encouraged to take courses from at least three of the designated subfields in Political Science.
With the permission of the Undergraduate Program Adviser, methods courses which are required in other departments may be considered equivalents for POLI 2P80, 3P91 or 3P92.
Students in the Honours program with concentration in Public Law are strongly recommended to complete SOCI 1F90.
