PRESENTATION: Political Science at the U of A

Politics is the study of power, where it comes from, how is it organized, what it does and how it can be limited or expanded, who has the power, why it works and how it shifts over time. Political Science understands the processes, ideas and institutions through which power is structured, as well as power's effects. Learn more about our program, in which students think about power in both formal and informal settings, and the ways it governs us globally and locally.
