Why study this program?

The Native Studies Honors program provides further opportunities for research and specialization, enabling students to study their area of interest in greater depth.

It demands a higher standard of performance that provides excellent preparation for graduate studies, like the Master of Arts in Native Studies.

Why study at the University of Alberta?

We are the only independent Faculty of Native Studies in Canada, with small class sizes and a diverse student population of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students.

We are student-centered, with a close-knit community of students, professors, and staff. We host regular Tea and Bannock potlucks, an annual tipi raising and take-down, and Games Night with the Dean.

We are research-focused, with opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in research projects. Our courses incorporate traditional Indigenous knowledge and heritage as well as contemporary Indigenous experiences.
