A Joint Honours academic plan with Political Science may be taken in combination with most Arts disciplines in which an Honours academic plan is offered or with many Honours majors in other Faculties. See the department for the most recent list of approved combinations. Students who wish to combine a study of Political Science with a broad training in a related discipline such as Sociology or History, or in fact in any other discipline in which they are interested, can do so in Joint Honours.
Continuation in this academic plan requires a cumulative overall average of 60% and a cumulative Political Science average of 75%.
Eligibility for graduation in the Joint Honours Political Science academic plan includes successful fulfilment of the following requirements:
- Appropriate Program-level requirements for the Home Faculty, including at least 21 academic course units. If the Home Faculty is Arts, see "Bachelor of Arts."
- Political Science Plan-level requirements:

- 12 PSCI courses above the 100-level with two courses at the 400-level
