Pre-existing 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:
