This program leads to a Bachelor of Health Studies, a 120-credit-hour degree in Indigenous Health Studies at First Nations University of Canada, alongside related certificate and diploma options along the same pathway, including specialty certificates in areas such as Indigenous birth support and end-of-life support work. The curriculum covers Indigenous health issues, traditional healing, and Indigenous health research methods, drawing on both social and natural sciences to build critical thinking and evidence-based community practice skills. Some specialty certificate components include a practicum placement of several weeks. The program is offered through online, face-to-face, and remote synchronous delivery methods, with courses available at the Regina campus and the Northern Campus, and takes two to four years to complete depending on the credential pursued. It suits students interested in Indigenous community health, preparing graduates for roles in government or community health services, health promotion, and policy development.
