Enroll in Canada's unique Indigenous Business Studies program, designed to deepen your knowledge of economic systems and collaborative ventures with Indigenous communities.
This major provides students with comprehensive insights into First Nations, Métis, and Inuit societies and their contributions to economic growth. The curriculum combines courses from Native Studies, the Faculty of Arts, and the Asper School of Business, focusing on Indigenous cultures, histories, and enterprises. Pairing this major with another Asper specialization enhances your career prospects significantly. In an era where collaboration with Indigenous groups is key to reconciliation, this program distinguishes graduates in the job market. Both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students are welcome to apply.
The Indigenous Business Studies Major allows Asper School of Business students to enhance their primary specialization with valued knowledge sought by corporate and Indigenous employers. Participants gain crucial understanding of Canada's multicultural business environment, particularly in Manitoba, while acquiring management skills for economic partnerships with Indigenous communities. The program draws from Native Studies, Arts, and Business courses to explore Indigenous cultures, enterprises, and economic systems. With significant investments from treaty settlements and continuous business expansion, there's growing demand for professionals skilled in Indigenous contexts. Cultivating management expertise within Indigenous populations is vital for self-governance, while economic development and leadership training are essential for addressing community challenges and building sustainable futures.
