This program leads to a four-year Bachelor of Indigenous Education (Elementary), requiring 120 credit hours, at First Nations University of Canada, with Cree and Dene immersion variants and a 60-credit-hour After-Degree option for students who already hold a bachelor's degree. The curriculum integrates a holistic cultural component with land-based education throughout, preparing graduates to teach Indigenous content and processes in both Indigenous and non-Indigenous school settings. Students gain classroom experience every semester through school-based teaching placements, including band school placements specific to the university's Indigenous Education programs. The program is delivered in person at the Regina campus and the Northern Campus, with community-based programming also available, and it meets the requirements for Teacher Certification in Saskatchewan as approved by the Saskatchewan Teachers' Professional Regulatory Board. It suits students preparing to become elementary teachers, school administrators, or ESL instructors in Indigenous and mainstream educational settings.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:65.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Admission runs on First Nations University of Canada's own Indigenous Education intakes rather than the standard calendar: applications close March 31, June 30, or September 30, and qualified applicants are invited to an interview for their chosen Indigenous Education program. High-school applicants need a minimum 65% average across English Language Arts A30, English Language Arts B30, two further approved 30-level Math, Science, Language, or Social Science courses, and one additional approved 30-level course. Applicants apply through University of Regina Admissions and select First Nations University of Canada as their college. The programme page states no English-language test scores; international applicants are instead referred to the University of Regina International Office for English-proficiency requirements, and neither the programme page nor FNUniv's international-students page publishes a specific test or score.
