Program details
Overview
Indigenous Studies at the University of Winnipeg is a Bachelor of Arts offered in three-year, four-year, and Honours formats, with Major and Minor options and support through a Transition Year Program for Aboriginal students. First-year study typically includes introductory courses, language instruction in Cree or Ojibwe, and electives, with faculty contributing backgrounds in politics, economics, anthropology, sociology, human ecology, natural resources management, and law. Sample courses named on the program page cover treaties, Indigenous representation in film, community food security, Indigenous sciences, the legacy of residential schools, and Indigenous women and resilience. The program addresses the policies, acts, and treaties affecting Indigenous peoples and the intellectual and cultural heritage of First Nations, Non-Status, Inuit, and Métis peoples in Canada and internationally. Delivery is on the Winnipeg campus. The page describes the program as open to students from all backgrounds and disciplines, and cites government policy work, with an example at the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, as a career destination. It suits students seeking a grounding in Indigenous history, governance, and culture, including those planning careers in policy, government relations, or further study connected to Indigenous communities and issues.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The program page defers to The University of Winnipeg's general admission requirements and states that no specific high school courses are required. Applicants whose first language is not English, and who are not from an English-exempt country, must meet the university's English proficiency requirement, set out on The University of Winnipeg's own admission requirements page: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall; TOEFL iBT 4.5 overall with no component below 4.0 for tests taken on or after January 21, 2026 (86 overall with no component below 20 for tests taken before that date); Duolingo English Test 120; Pearson PTE Academic 58; CAEL 60 (CAEL online 70); LanguageCert Academic 67; or Cambridge C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 180, with results no more than two years old. International applicants apply online through the university's application portal and pay a non-refundable CAD $120 application fee, with official transcripts sent directly from the issuing institution to the Admissions Office; recommended international deadlines are June 15 for Fall (September), October 15 for Winter (January), and February 15 for Spring (May), and applying three to four months ahead is encouraged to allow time for study-permit processing.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens, permanent residents and refugees) apply directly to the University of Winnipeg: for the Faculties of Arts, Business and Economics, Kinesiology and Science the suggested deadline is July 2 for Fall (September) entry, November 1 for Winter (January) entry and March 1 for Spring (May) entry; the Faculty of Education recommends March 1 for high-school and mature applicants, with a final deadline of June 1 subject to space. International applicants are advised to apply by June 15 (Fall, shown on the live page as an 'extended' deadline), October 15 (Winter) or February 15 (Spring). All of these are suggested rather than firm cut-offs: late applications may still be considered, and admission runs on an effectively rolling basis until a term is full. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
