Overview

Program Description Honours Arts and Business is where the things students are passionate about intersect with business. Students can pick one of 29 majors — a subject they are curious about or something they have always loved — then layer on business classes that teach them the practical skills employers look for. Students who would like their degree to be even more customized, they can add on a second honours major or a minor. Students can choose the regular system of study and finish in four years, or add 20 months of serious work experience to their resumes through co-op. From civil unrest in the Middle East to international trade negotiations, today’s political landscape is complex. Students will learn how to navigate (and shape) that terrain with a Political Science degree from the University of Waterloo. Students will investigate a wide range of topics, or dive deep with a specialization in Canadian Politics, Global Governance, International Relations, or Politics and Business. Students will hone their analytical, writing, critical thinking, and research skills in a mix of lectures, seminars, and workshops. They will also get an insiders’ perspective, studying with top scholars involved in current international policy debates. Students will gain an understanding of comparative politics, international relations, social sciences, and political theory. For students who want to apply their teachings early, they can choose the co-op stream and get some work experience while going through their degree. Graduate ready to make a difference. Now more than ever, the world needs savvy movers and shakers equipped to respond to current events.
