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 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.

Political Science Co-operative (Co-op)

The Political Science Co-op program combines academic and work terms over a four and one-half year period. Students spend two years in an academic setting doing course work prior to taking the first work placement. In addition to the current fees for courses in academic study terms, Political Science Co-op students are assessed an annual administration fee (see Schedule of Fees).

Eligibility to continue is based on the students' major average and non-major average. A student with a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent 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 Political Science Co-op program. 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 Political Science Co-op program designation will be awarded to those student who have honours standing and who have successfully completed a minimum of twelve months of Co-op work experience.

Students whose primary interest is in public administration as a field of study, or as a potential career are advised to consider the co-op program in public administration, outlined below. This program leads to a BA (Honours) Political Science.

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).

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. This program leads to a BA (Honours) Political Science.

Court and Tribunal Agent-Seneca College
The Court and Tribunal Agent program involves courses offered through Brock and Seneca College. Court and tribunal agents (paralegals) are legally qualified to offer specified legal services directly to the public for a fee without the supervision of a lawyer.

Students are also required to complete a field placement at the end of their year at Seneca. Students who successfully complete the requirements for this program will be granted a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Political Science degree from Brock and a Court and Tribunal Agent diploma from Seneca College. Gaining both a degree and this diploma would ordinarily involve attending college after gaining a university degree, but the Brock and Seneca program combines the two in a single integrated package that can be completed in four years. Applicants must have a minimum 70 percent overall average to be considered for admission to the program. Volunteering experience is considered an asset. Successful applicants must maintain a minimum 70 percent overall average during Year 2 and meet other program requirements to continue in the program. Enrolment in this program is limited.
