The Indigenous Environmental Studies program is an innovative program that provides an interdisciplinary and creative approach to environmental issues affecting Indigenous Peoples, communities, and lands. The program blends Indigenous and western environmental perspectives and is offered jointly by Environmental & Resource Science/Studies and Indigenous Studies. It is available as a Specialization in either the B.A. or B.Sc. programs or as a Diploma. The Diploma is intended for students of Indigenous ancestry, who may be interested in specific educational opportunities.

Diploma In Indigenous Environmental Studies  

•   The Diploma is a two-year program open to students who have the equivalent of Ontario Grade 12 or qualify as mature students.
•   The Diploma will be awarded upon successful completion of the program. With it will be included a Trent University transcript identifying all courses undertaken and grades received.
•   Students who have earned the Diploma may apply for admission to the B.A. or B.Sc. program. Credits earned in the Diploma program are transferable to the B.A. and B.Sc. degrees.
•   Indigenous students seeking admission to this or other University programs should contact the academic programs coordinator in the Indigenous Studies program to inquire about getting special assistance with the Admission process.
