Bachelor of Arts in Law, Politics, and Society

Program Overview

Law, Politics, and Society explores the relationship between law, political life, and society—it examines how the law is made and changed, how it influences citizens, and how it interacts with societal forces. 

Law, Politics, and Society at STU
Law, Politics, and Society is unique in bringing the study of law and politics together into one program. It’s a systemic but flexible interdisciplinary field of study, drawing on the expertise of faculty from different departments and programs including Human Rights, Political Science, Criminology, and Sociology. This gives students a deep understanding of the law in Canada and introduces them to diverse perspectives and approaches to the study of law, politics, and the social forces influencing the legal process. 

What sets STU’s Law, Politics, and Society Program Apart?

  • Small, engaging classes that emphasize personal interaction, discussion, and debate.
  • Law, Politics, and Society is a unique-to-STU program that combines the study of law and politics into one program.
  • Lectures and seminars are always taught by professors—not teaching assistants—which means students learn from experts.
  • Due to its interdisciplinary nature, students can include experiential learning courses like Model United Nations and Moot Court in their Law, Politics, and Society major or minor.  
  • Students benefit from faculty expertise in criminal law and legal theory, Canadian and international human rights, the Canadian Constitution, and Charter law and politics.
