The Cross-Disciplinary Certificate in Indigenous Studies at York University addresses the experiences of Indigenous peoples, including issues of language, history and culture, with a particular focus on the history of the relationship between Indigenous and Settler peoples in Canada. To qualify for the certificate, students complete 24 credits chosen from a list of approved courses and must maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least C+ (5.00) across those credits. The certificate sits alongside York's broader Indigenous Studies program, which also offers full undergraduate degree options in the discipline. Study is offered full-time, with sessions in the Fall, Winter and Summer terms. It suits students in other degree programs who want a credentialed, structured grounding in Indigenous history, culture and Indigenous-Settler relations as part of their wider studies.
