The Political Science Program at Nipissing University offers courses of study in Political Theory, Canadian Politics, International Relations, and Public Administration.

If politics is a form of association directed towards what a community holds to be good - their common purpose - then political science is the reflective study on those various purposes as well as of the means or methods chosen to achieve them.


"...it is clear that all partnerships aim at some good, and that the partnership that is most authoritative of all and embraces all others does so particularly, and aims at the most authoritative good of all. This is what is called the polis or the political partnership."

Aristotle

Politics, 1252a1-5
