Graduates are prepared for roles in public administration, policy analysis, journalism, international organizations, and further graduate study in political science or law. The program admits applicants from Quebec CEGEPs, other Canadian provinces, and international backgrounds, with non-francophone applicants required to demonstrate French-language proficiency.
