Global Political Studies

Specialized Honours BA Program

The Specialized Honours Program in Global Political Studies (GPS) provides students with the skills required to analyze global political forces, as well as giving them a broad and liberal education. The GPS Program provides an excellent background for future public service work abroad, especially when combined with selected courses in the Public Policy and Administration Program. As well, the GPS Program is useful for anyone who hopes to find private sector employment in a job dealing with international issues, or for anyone who hopes to pursue graduate studies in international relations or comparative world politics.
