Program details

Overview

The Certificate in Indigenous Studies is a 21-credit-hour, seven-course credential offered at Memorial University's St. John's campus, building foundational understanding of Indigenous peoples' histories, cultures, languages, and contemporary experiences, from the origins of First Peoples through modern reconciliation movements. Coursework includes Critical Reading and Writing in Indigenous Studies, Indigenous Peoples: Concepts of Land, the Law, and the Constitution, and Indigenous Governance in Canada. The certificate functions as an add-on credential for students admitted to another Memorial University program rather than a standalone degree; direct admission is not available. Prospective students apply through the general undergraduate admissions process and are advised to select the general-admission program option unless pursuing an additional program, and current or admitted students add the certificate by contacting the program director.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Direct admission to this certificate is not available. New applicants must submit an undergraduate application and meet Memorial University's general admission requirements, selecting the general-admission program option unless already pursuing another program; current or admitted Memorial students add the certificate by contacting the program director.
