BAH.POST - Political Studies - BA Honours

www.trentu.ca/politicalstudies

The Department of Political Studies provides for general study and for concentration in one or more fields—world politics, Canadian politics, and political theory. All three major fields of Political Studies are interconnected through four overlapping thematic clusters: (1) institutions, law, and policy, (2) political economy, (3) political culture and identity, and (4) alternative politics—allowing for a large variety of combinations for individual study.
