This program leads to a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Political Science, specializing in Global Studies, over four years (five with the co-op option), delivered in-class at the Downtown Oshawa campus, examining political, ecological, economic, cultural and social issues of a global scope. It draws on political science theories and methodologies alongside other disciplinary perspectives to study major international events and processes, with a focus on climate change, biodiversity loss and the impact of new telecommunication technologies, and asks students to develop sustainable solutions to urgent international problems. 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 foreign service officer, government researcher, human rights advocate, policy analyst, or program evaluator.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario Tech University states no admission requirements specific to Global Studies 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.
