Our faculty are actively engaged in a wide range of research activities and projects, and highly visible in the discipline of political science both in Canada and abroad.
And we are no less committed to our students. We offer a full range of undergraduate and graduate programs in politics.

At the graduate level, we offer the Master of Arts and the Doctor of Philosophy in Canadian politics, comparative politics, political theory, international relations, and gender and politics.
