My experience as a doctoral student in the department was everything I could ask for. The faculty is top notch. The relationships I built with the professors and my peers were exceptionally rich. The atmosphere was collegial. The academic standards were high. Now that I am an alumni, I continue to draw on the department’s rich resources in my current work. Truly, the University of Toronto’s Department of Political Science is one of Canada’s great intellectual treasures. — Joshua Hjartarson, Policy Director, Mowat Centre for Policy Innovation
