Master of Arts in Native Studies

University of Alberta

The Faculty of Native Studies distinctively combines Indigenous community knowledge and concerns with the scholarly standards and methods of a research-intensive university to offer multidisciplinary education in a rigorous, respectful academic environment attentive to local, national, and international concerns. The MA in Native Studies is a program of advanced study. As such, students are expected to have an established background in Indigenous studies when applying. This is best demonstrated by fulfilling the requirements for the BA in Native Studies. An equivalent background may also be demonstrated based on the successful completion of several Indigenous studies courses on the applicant’s transcripts. Applicants who do not meet these requirements may be asked to complete Indigenous studies courses or other courses with similar content before re-applying. These courses should be related to the intended research topic.
