The Department of Political Science at Glendon College offers five BA degree programs and four iBA degree programs. All programs are built upon a core curriculum of courses across the four principal subfields of political science: Canadian Politics, Political Theory, Comparative Politics and International Relations. All degree program students must complete at least three of the four core courses (at least 18 credits in three out of four subfields).

The core courses are all at the second year level and provide students with the basics of the discipline including, terminology, concepts, theories and methodologies. Upon completion, students have acquired the necessary knowledge and skills to take upper-year courses in the discipline. Students are advised to complete their core courses requirements before taking 3000 level courses.

Students are free to take third and fourth year courses of their choice, as long as they fulfill the number of credits needed for upper-year requirements. Courses at the 3000 level remain lecture-type courses that provide disciplinary breadth and depth. Courses at the 4000 level are research seminars that prepare students for graduate school and the job market.

Students are encouraged to meet with a faculty member before choosing their upper-year courses to make sure that their course selection reflects their interest and professional aspiration.
