Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Arts Major, offered by Bishop's University's Department of Politics and International Studies within the Faculty of Social Sciences, examines the global community through cultural, economic, environmental, legal, social, and political perspectives. The program can be completed in three or four years, with intake in both the Fall and Winter terms. Coursework prepares students for further education or careers involving international interactions, drawing on multiple disciplinary perspectives rather than a single field, and situates global issues within their historical and institutional context. Graduates pursue careers such as diplomat, foreign service worker, human rights specialist, international development worker, immigration officer, policy analyst, and non-profit or government relations roles, as well as further graduate study in international affairs, law, or public policy.
