This program leads to a Bachelor of Arts in Indigenous Studies, a 120-credit-hour degree at First Nations University of Canada, with an honours version, a related diploma, and an 18-credit-hour minor also available along the same pathway. The curriculum focuses on the research and intellectual exploration of Indigenous peoples' cultures, histories, and contemporary circumstances, with a geographic scope that moves outward from Saskatchewan to Canada, North America, the Western Hemisphere, and the global context, integrated with Elder teachings and traditional knowledge. The program serves as the social science foundation for most degree and certificate programs at the university and spans four years of study. It is offered through in-person, hybrid, and online courses at the Regina, Saskatoon, and Northern campuses. It suits students interested in Indigenous scholarship and advocacy, preparing graduates for roles in academics, public service, communications and research, policy advising, or community outreach, and providing a foundation for further study in fields such as law, education, or social work.
