Political science is the systematic study of politics. Political scientists consider not only the structure and operations of government, but also public opinion, political parties and elections, and the way in which they interact with governments and shape the policies they make.
Memorial's Department of Political Science has research strengths in public policy, European and international politics, as well as elections, campaigns and voting, particularly in Canada. Students who work towards a B.A. honours or major have the option of concentrating in Canadian government or in global studies. Students can also gain job experience in a work internship, pursue a co-op degree, or spend a semester in Europe.
The Department of Political Science offers a co-operative education option available to political science majors. Admission to the co-op option is competitive for a limited number of places.
