The Data and Models in Political Science certificate teaches you to use theoretical models of institutional and behavioural political science and economics to understand choice and conflict in domestic and international politics. This substantive focus is augmented by methodological courses that provide you with the technical skills necessary to conduct behavioural research in political science. The certificate is intended for Political Science majors and was designed to serve students in the Faculty of Arts. We will consider enrolment of undergraduate students from other Faculties on a case-by-case basis.

Students do not apply for the Data & Models Certificate. Instead, students become eligible for the Data & Models Certificate through their academic performance in POLI 110 and POLI 220-002
