Program details
Overview
The Major in Indigenous Studies is an undergraduate concentration within a Bachelor's degree at the University of Ottawa, designed for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students. The program introduces students to the history, philosophy, cultures, arts and contemporary life of Indigenous peoples in Canada and around the world, drawing on multiple academic disciplines to examine Indigenous knowledge systems, governance and lived experience. It requires 42 units of coursework in the discipline in addition to general Bachelor's degree requirements. The program is offered in both English and French and is administered through the Institute for Indigenous Research and Studies. The university notes that requirements for this program have recently been modified, with prior requirements available in the 2025-2026 calendars for students who began under earlier program rules.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario secondary-school applicants need English 4U (ENG4U) or Français 4U (FRA4U) as the only subject prerequisite; no other Grade 12 course is required. The published minimum admission average is 75%, calculated from the applicant's top six 4U/4M/DU grades including the language prerequisite. This line covers the great majority of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Social Sciences programs at the University of Ottawa, including single-subject majors, Honours variants, joint-honours combinations of two Arts or Social Sciences disciplines, and the general Interdisciplinary Studies (BA/BSocSc) credentials. Some programs in this group carry an additional stream (French Immersion, Co-op, or an In-Depth Experiential Learning Stream) that does not change the academic admission line. Meeting the minimum average does not guarantee admission where a program is oversubscribed. Applicants completing Environmental Studies without Biology 4U are advised to take a replacement course in first year.
