BA in Indigenous Studies

The University of Winnipeg

The 4 Year BA in Indigenous Studies is more appropriate than the 3 Year BA in Indigenous Studies for preparing the student for graduate school. It allows flexibility of choice for students who want to sample a wide variety of courses to develop a stronger understanding of Indigenous issues, peoples, and policies and who wish to develop their skills in critical reading, writing, and thinking. Students will gain knowledge on Indigenous cultures, particularly Canada, much of it wish can be applicable in work situations in band, provincial, national and international settings as well as with non-profit and for-profit organizations. It can be successful paired with any number of other majors – Indigenous Studies and Criminal Justice Indigenous Studies and Politics, for example. Because this program offers much freedom of choice, it is important for students to think carefully about their interests and goals when choosing courses.
