To study politics is to study justice. How does justice impact the understanding of power, order, peace and democracy? Redeemer's Politics and International Studies program prepares students to answer the biblical call to love God and our neighbours through faithful, loving institutions鈥攖he building blocks of a just global society.

Politics and International Studies is a Bachelor of Arts degree program. It is offered as a major.

Quick Links

Right from the start, small class sizes allow for meaningful class discussion, lead by professors who are actively researching and experienced practitioners in the field.

First-year courses approach topics of history, politics and international studies in a way that is both broad and deep, giving an overview of the people, organizations and policies that are currently working towards bettering our world.

Politics and International Studies The Core

The Core Curriculum is a set of 10 courses that every student takes. The courses are woven through every major and get you to think deeply and broadly about what you鈥檙e studying. Think about it this way鈥

  • Politicians have a deeper sense of compassion when they ground themselves in the narrative of Scripture.
  • Researchers can communicate their findings more clearly when they know how to write persuasively.
  • Relief workers treat people fairly when they have considered the meaning of justice.
