What will I learn?

First Nations Studies is an interdisciplinary program of study examining topics relevant to Indigenous peoples' realities. The program allows students to either specifically focus on Indigenous issues or to combine their program with any other undergraduate program. This format allows students to customize their course selections and combine interdisciplinary program modules to match their interests and their learning goals. Students may select modules after completing their first year of study. You can mix and match modules from First Nations Studies with modules from other programs. This modular structure allows students to combine courses from various departments and faculties that match their academic goals and interests and also provides them the opportunity to achieve a broader knowledge base.
