Program details
Overview
The Bachelor of Social Sciences with a major in political science (regular profile) is a four-year, 120-credit undergraduate program. Students may begin at the Edmundston or Shippagan campus before transferring to Moncton, where the full four years are also available. The curriculum is organized into 66 credits of foundational coursework, 48 credits of major discipline courses — 24 mandatory and 24 elective — and 18 credits of related-discipline courses, including a required statistics course and 15 elective credits, plus 30 credits of general education and electives. A mandatory 24-credit minor in a second discipline is also required. Core mandatory courses cover an introduction to political science, sequences in political thought, two levels of research methods, the Canadian political system, principles of public administration, and an introduction to international relations. Admission requires a secondary school diploma with a French course and four additional eligible courses at specified minimum grades, with an overall average across the five admission courses. The program combines theoretical and methodological training in political science with breadth from a required minor, suiting students interested in government, public administration, international relations, or related fields who also want depth in a second discipline.

Admission Requirements: Admission requires a secondary school diploma plus five courses used for admission evaluation: French (FRAN 10411 or equivalent, replaceable by French as a second language or terminal English for immersion graduates) and four additional eligible courses. Minimum grades: 65% in FRAN 10411, 60% in each of the other four courses, and a 70% overall average across all five. Applicants submit an official secondary school transcript (and post-secondary transcripts if applicable, except for Université de Moncton graduates) with the online admission form, plus a $60 application fee payable with first-term tuition.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Canadian and permanent-resident applicants apply directly to Université de Moncton by recurring annual deadlines that carry no published calendar year: 31 August for autumn-term entry and 5 January for winter-term entry, with the Baccalauréat en science infirmière (Nursing) and Baccalauréat en design intérieur due 1 February, and the 16-month Baccalauréat en éducation due 1 February at the Moncton campus or 30 June at Shippagan/Edmundston. International applicants must apply by 31 May for autumn entry and 30 September for winter entry, with the 16-month Baccalauréat en éducation due 1 February at Moncton or 31 May at Shippagan/Edmundston. Applications received after these dates are automatically deferred to the following session, and Université de Moncton may close applications earlier if volume is high, so admission is firm rather than rolling. The admissions page's only calendar-year reference is to the Automne 2026 term already under way (registration closes 4 September 2026, classes begin 9 September 2026), which places the source's current context in the 2026-27 academic year; the next occurrences of the recurring deadlines above therefore fall in Hiver 2027 and Automne 2027. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
