Dual Degree - Bachelor of Arts - Indigenous Studies & Bachelor of Commerce (PAB)

Students may register in a Bachelor of Commerce with a Bachelor of Arts in Indigenous Studies degree simultaneously.

The Bachelor of Commerce will prepare students for a career and life in general. It gives a wholesome approach to learning that gives students more than a degree. Along with core business knowledge, they will develop professional and social skills. The program’s combination of theoretical background, practical skills, real experience, and techniques to hone independent thinking and problem solving skills will give graduates an advantage and a better chance of success in a competitive market.

Indigenous Studies offers students an opportunity to learn about Native cultures, philosophies, literature, histories, and contemporary issues that are central to this land that we live in. Its multidisciplinary approach reflects the different directions of the Medicine Wheel, so studies will include the physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual aspects that are needed for true learning according to indigenous thought. The Native Creativity in the Arts course addresses the emotional aspect by encouraging personal expression in various forms. Native Philosophy provides an introduction to Native worldviews and addresses both physical and intellectual content. Native Spirituality and Religions course examines different faith systems and responds to spiritual inquiry.
