Program details
Overview
This Bachelor's program in Political Science is offered through the Faculty of Arts, with standard and Honours Bachelor of Arts options each running four years. Coursework covers political theory and philosophy, domestic Canadian politics, international relations, and comparative politics, with sample courses on war and peace, Indigenous peoples and politics, and citizen engagement in Canada. The Honours option requires a wider range of political science courses in place of some general arts requirements. Students can pursue co-op and internship placements through the university's Co-operative Education and Internships program, gaining paid on-the-job experience alongside coursework. The program is described as building communication and research skills, a broad understanding of social, political, and economic context, and the ability to operate within large organizations. It suits students interested in government, international affairs, or policy work who want applied experience alongside theory. Described career destinations include federal and provincial public service, diplomatic service, international organizations, the charitable sector, K-12 education, business management, First Nations governments, and law, with named applications in policy analysis, natural resource management, and urban planning.

Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants to the University of Regina apply for Fall 2027 entry with a recommended early deadline of 15 March 2027 for best course selection and a final new-applicant deadline of 15 August 2027; Winter 2027-28 entry has an early deadline of 1 November 2026 and a final deadline of 15 December 2026, and Spring/Summer 2027 entry closes 15 April 2027. International (study-permit) applicants share the same final deadlines as domestic students for each term but have no separate early deadline. Numerous named programs, including Nursing, Social Work, Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work, Indigenous Fine Arts and Indigenous Education, carry their own earlier deadlines instead of the general dates. Admission is not described as rolling; late non-competitive applications are simply carried to the next term the program accepts. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
