The Major in Political Science is an undergraduate concentration within a Bachelor's degree at the University of Ottawa, delivered through the School of Political Studies. The discipline studies the principles and power relations that govern social life, along with the structures, institutions, ideas and practices that shape political life at the local, regional, national and international levels. Students build knowledge across four subfields: political thought, Canadian and Quebec politics, comparative politics, and international relations and global politics. The 42-unit program includes compulsory courses such as Introduction to Political Science, Introduction to Canadian Politics, Introduction to International Relations and Global Politics, Introduction to Comparative Politics, Introduction to Political Thought, Modern Political Thought I and II, and Foundations of Research in Political Science, plus a course in qualitative or quantitative political analysis and further optional political science courses. The program is offered in both English and French, with co-operative education and a French immersion stream available to students who complete it as part of an honours degree.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario secondary-school applicants need English 4U (ENG4U) or Français 4U (FRA4U) as the only subject prerequisite; no other Grade 12 course is required. The published minimum admission average is 75%, calculated from the applicant's top six 4U/4M/DU grades including the language prerequisite. This line covers the great majority of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Social Sciences programs at the University of Ottawa, including single-subject majors, Honours variants, joint-honours combinations of two Arts or Social Sciences disciplines, and the general Interdisciplinary Studies (BA/BSocSc) credentials. Some programs in this group carry an additional stream (French Immersion, Co-op, or an In-Depth Experiential Learning Stream) that does not change the academic admission line. Meeting the minimum average does not guarantee admission where a program is oversubscribed. Applicants completing Environmental Studies without Biology 4U are advised to take a replacement course in first year.
