Our Indigenous governance program (previously called Aboriginal governance) is an interdisciplinary initiative that explores traditional knowledge, political governance, and Indigenous business and economic systems.
This curriculum offers a multidisciplinary approach. Alongside foundational courses in four fields (Native Studies, Political Studies, Economics, and Business), students must complete coursework in four thematic areas: Political Governance, Indigenous Business and Economics, Traditional Knowledge, and Business. Students also enjoy significant flexibility in choosing electives to customize their studies according to personal interests and career goals. The program is available both on-campus and in community-based settings.
The following are minimum requirements for entry into the Bachelor of Arts in Indigenous Governance program. Meeting these requirements does not guarantee acceptance into the program.
Direct entry means you are applying to the program directly out of high school.
Advanced entry option is open to students who have completed a minimum of 24 credit hours of university level study and have attained a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0.
