Introduction The Faculty of Social Sciences offers an interdisciplinary major in International Indigenous Studies. Students must carefully select their courses to meet the requirements of this degree and they should consult with the Director of the International Indigenous Studies program before selecting those courses. Entry to the program in the first year is recommended. A Minor in Indigenous Studies also exists.
Admission

See 3.1 Admissions. In addition to the requirements below, all students are required to meet the Faculty's admission requirements.

Admission is limited. Categories for admission have been established, because a mix of Indigenous and non-Indigenous students is essential if the program is to successfully meet its academic objectives. Within each category, admission is in order of academic merit. The categories, and the percentage of admissions allocated to each, are:

1. Outstanding academic merit. (60%)

2. (a) Transfer students from member colleges of the First Nations Adult and Higher Education Consortium (FNAHEC). Students entering in this category must have a minimum of five full-course equivalent transfer credits from the FNAHEC member college and must have a minimum grade point average of 2.00. (13.3%)

(b) Other Canadian Indigenous students. Students entering in this category meet the definition of "aboriginal student" contained in the Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà Aboriginal Student Policy. (16.7%)

(c) International Indigenous students. Students entering in this category are members of an Indigenous population outside of Canada and, at the time of application to the program, must be eligible for a permit to study in Canada. (10%)

Note: Any students not admitted under one category will automatically be considered under any other category for which they are eligible.
