What will I learn?

This degree focuses on the interaction and collaboration of Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Euro-centric Knowledge Systems, and offers two study pathways. Choose to complete a Bachelor of Arts (Studies) and gain an understanding of the social, cultural, and human experiences with the environment through an Indigenous perspective. Choose the Bachelor of Science (Sciences) pathway and gain the theory and skills to analyze the natural world, from Indigenous and Western perspectives. With guidance and support from leading Indigenous and non-Indigenous faculty, Elders, guest speakers, and scholars, youll learn to apply critical, creative and innovative thinking to address climate change, sustainability, health, food security, and other complex issues affecting Indigenous and all peoples around the world.
