Program Overview

Political Science focuses on how societies choose to organize themselves, why they choose those formations, and what the implications of those choices are. It examines and investigates the nature of citizenship, power, justice, community, law, and freedom.
Political Science at STU
Our Political Science program covers four traditional subfields of the discipline: 

  • Canadian Politics and Government
  • Comparative Politics
  • International Relations
  • History of Political Thought
  • Students gain exposure to and knowledge of each of these areas and develop an understanding of the institutional and philosophical dimensions of political life. They become attuned to the trends and shocks that alter the forces and issues affecting us at home and abroad. 

What sets STU’s Political Science Program Apart?

  • Small, engaging classes that emphasize personal interaction, discussion, and debate.  
  • Lectures and seminars are always taught by professors—not teaching assistants—which means students learn from experts in the field.
  • Courses address current issues and controversies against the backdrop of fundamental political questions, which creates a classroom experience grounded in collaborative learning.
  • For-credit and extracurricular experiential learning opportunities are offered that connect with students’ academic and career ambitions.
  • Students benefit from faculty expertise in International political economy, Canadian foreign policy, Canadian Constitutional Rights, law and politics, social movements, political philosophy, and more.
