Program Modules
Students have the option of selecting their modules of study after completing first year. The various modules allow students to develop both specialist and more general degree programs. A student may thus focus on Indigenous courses and obtain a degree in Indigenous Studies or combine Indigenous Studies with work in other disciplines.
Modules require specific courses or a combination of courses. Students may select one of the following modules:
