Trinity Western – Laurentian
Leadership Program
This program, offered by Trinity Western University, provides students
with an opportunity to live and study in Ottawa while taking advantage
of unique internship opportunities. While the program is designed
primarily for Political Science, International Studies, History, Business,
and Communications majors/minors, others may take these courses as
electives and should consult the Registrar’s Office for more information
on how this program can fit into their academic program.
Students take three courses on Governmental Leadership, Public
Affairs and Ethics, and Canadian Cultural Change. Each course is three
credits and is designed to introduce students to experts in the field who
enable students to see how their Christian faith can and does impact
public life. Students also complete an internship worth six credits as
elective credit in their program. Placements have included working in
a Member of Parliament’s office, political party office, governmental
department or agency, a national and local media outlet, a business
office in accordance with special interests or non-government agency.
There is a variety of internship sites from which to choose that would
help to advance the student’s career interests and offer an opportunity
to learn from experts in the field and meet leaders in those fields. These
internships provide a learning experience that is far broader than what
students would experience if they were employees of an organization.
Each is designed to show the student the inner workings of the
organization and how that organization interfaces with others in the
National Capital Region.
The program operates out of the famous Booth House, later known
as the prestigious Laurentian Club, a unique heritage site located in
the heart of downtown Ottawa. It is located on Metcalfe Street, which
leads directly to Parliament Hill.
Prerequisite:
