Bachelor of Arts in Native Studies Elementary Education Native Studies

The Bachelor of Arts in Native Studies / Elementary Education is a combined degree program offered jointly by the Faculty of Native Studies and the Faculty of Education, leading to two degrees in five years and preparing graduates to teach Grades K-6. The first three years are completed in the Faculty of Native Studies and the final two years in the Faculty of Education. While completing the Elementary Education route, students may choose a minor in Native Education, Social Studies, or Cree. The Faculty of Native Studies is the only independent Faculty of Native Studies in Canada, with small class sizes and a student population of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students, courses that incorporate traditional Indigenous knowledge alongside contemporary Indigenous experiences, and opportunities for undergraduate students to take part in research projects.
