The University of Ottawa’s combined Honours Bachelor of Social Sciences (BSocSc) with Specialization in Political Science and Juris Doctor (JD) integrates the study of political science and common law.
The program is designed for students interested in the relationship between law, government and public policy. By studying these complementary disciplines, you gain a broader perspective on the political, social and legal issues that shape Canadian and international affairs.
The program is an opportunity for students who have been admitted to the Faculty of Social Sciences to complete all the requirements of both programs in six years and receive two separate degrees.
The Juris Doctor (JD) and Honours Bachelor of Social Sciences with Specialization in Political Science combined program is offered only in French.
