Indigenous Diploma Programs

Trent’s distinctive Indigenous diploma programs give First Nations, Métis, or Inuit students an alternate path into university-level studies.

Start your post-secondary journey here at Trent, a University where Indigenous Knowledge is respected and recognized as a means by which to understand the world. Through our supportive and inclusive environment, students in the diploma programs bring diverse cultures, values, histories, and languages to the classroom while building career-level skills.

As the only programs of their kind in Ontario, all of Trent’s Indigenous diploma programs count as credit towards future studies, with the possibility for students to complete both a diploma and a degree in just four years.
