Overview

The Political Science programme from Algoma University is great for both domestic and international students, who can share their different experiences from around the world in ways that enrich the learning experience. Recent grads of our programme have gone on to do exciting work and graduate education around the planet.

The programme is comprehensive, and is built around three areas of study in which students may also specialize: International Relations; Canadian Government and Politics; and Political Thought.

Due to our location on the site of the former Shingwauk Residential School, our programme has a special focus on Indigenous content, including the implications of treaty relations, the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action, and colonialism. Students in the four year programme have the option of doing an independent Honours Essay in their final year.

Possible Careers:

Lawyer, Government and Public Service, Foreign Affairs and diplomatic service, media and journalism.
