Program details

Overview

This program leads to a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Political Science, specializing in Business and Society, over four years (five with the co-op option), delivered in-class at the Downtown Oshawa campus. This interdisciplinary specialization combines core political science concepts and theories with those of other social sciences, critically examining the impact of business on society and the environment while building skills to evaluate economic processes and relations; students are also asked to consider and develop sustainable business practices, and the program targets community development policies that improve quality of life and address community justice and planning issues. The specialization can be taken within the Political Science program. A direct-entry co-op option offers full-time, paid work terms applied for directly through the OUAC application. It suits students aiming at careers such as government administrator, policy analyst, policy consultant, or social policy researcher.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Ontario Tech University states no admission requirements specific to Business and Society beyond the OSSD prerequisites it lists and its general English proficiency policy. Applicants need the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U/4M credits, including English (ENG4U). Admission is competitive: last year's cut-off was 70 per cent and the expected cut-off sits in the low 70s, so meeting the minimums does not guarantee a seat. Applicants whose first language is not English must present, within two years of the intake, IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, Duolingo English Test 120, PTE Academic 58, CAEL 70 with no band below 60, Cambridge English Advanced 180 with no band below 170, or Oxford ELLT 7, or an IB Diploma or certificate with a minimum grade of 4 in English A, per the university's general admission requirements. The program begins in September and January.
