This program includes an optional Indigenous Perspectives Designation available to interested students. Earning it calls for completing a required group of Indigenous Studies courses, plus taking part in a minimum of four approved Indigenous co-curricular activities or events. The designation then shows up on the graduate's transcript, reflecting a wider view of Indigenous peoples — their cultures, histories, traditions, and contributions to Canadian society — considered alongside the student's main subject of study.
