Program details
Overview
This Indigenous Studies program leads to a Bachelor of Arts, with combined-degree options including Arts & Science, Arts/Education, Arts/Laws and Arts/Management. It examines art, law, philosophy, health, politics, history, gender, ecology, business, custom and language from Indigenous perspectives, investigating First Nations, Metis and Inuit history, heritage, culture and contemporary issues. Sample courses include Introduction to Indigenous Studies, Indigenous Art Studio, Indigenous Histories of Canada, Indigenous Peoples and Law, and Blackfoot and Cree languages. Students may add a minor, and an honours thesis option is available in fourth year for those with sufficient GPA. The program runs on the Lethbridge campus with Fall and Winter intakes, and includes co-operative education, international exchanges, applied studies and volunteer opportunities. It suits students interested in Indigenous history, governance and culture, and can lead to work in fine arts, politics, administration, outreach, international affairs, human rights, social work, government, museum curation or archaeology, as well as further study in law, management, journalism or education.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:65.00 / %
Admission Requirements: University of Lethbridge admits this program directly from Canadian high school on the Faculty of Arts & Science's standard scale: five distinct senior-year courses, one of them a language-arts course, with a minimum blended average of 65% across all five. No further subject-specific course is mandated beyond the general scale; several provinces list an Indigenous-studies-focused course (e.g. Current Topics in FNMI Studies) among the approved options. Applicants without a Canadian high school credential are assessed on the same academic scale against their home-country credential equivalencies through the international admissions office (general admission requirements). Applicants whose first language is not English must meet uLethbridge's English Language Proficiency requirement, most commonly through Alberta English Language Arts 30-1 (or equivalent) with a minimum blended grade of 75%, three consecutive years of full-time secondary study in English, or an approved test: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (min. 6.0 per band), TOEFL iBT 86 overall (min. 20 per section), Duolingo English Test 120 overall (min. 110 per subscore), PTE Academic 61 overall (min. 60 per part), CAEL 70 overall (min. 60 per component), or Cambridge C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 176 (min. 176 per subscore).
