<p>McGill's website doesn't go into great detail about its Political Science major, but I've gathered that there are these four fields: Canadian, International, and Comparitive Politics and Politcal Theory. So, do you choose your field and then take only those class designated under that field? Also, what is the difference between International Poltics and International Relations (in which McGill only offers a minor, so if I were to go here I'd do the IP)? Is either more limited in terms of employment? What do Political Science majors at McGill tend to go on to do? I ask because I've heard from some that Poli Sci is not as respected as IR. (My sister, a fourth year at a U.S. school, says that many at her school view it as a joke and that unless you're going to these top U.S. schools such as GW, American, Tufts, etc. [to make connections], finding a job is difficult. She says that I had better find programs with an international edge, then.) But what I've noticed about Canadian universities is that many of them have a Political Science department with these various concentrations...with American unis it's like, there's Political Science, which is generally focused on American politics, and then there either is or isn't International Relations. Whether I stay in the States or end up in Canada (the less likely of the two), I don't want to be studying North American politics. So as a Poli Sci major at McGill, would I really be able to concentrate all my studies on foreign politics/relations?</p>
