Students from across the global and political spectrum come to Cape Breton University for a chance to make a real impact in the world around them. When students study political science at Cape Breton University, they learn from more than books. Students are learning from a rich environment shaped by local, national and global politics.

Cape Breton University's accessible professors are highly qualified and dedicated professionals. Some are authors of respected books, journal articles and research studies. Others are engaged as leaders in local, national and international activities that shape political science education.
