Trent’s exceptional Indigenous diploma programs provide a clear path for self-identifying First Nations, Métis or Inuit students who wish to make the transition into university level studies. In a supportive and inclusive environment, students in the Indigenous Environmental Studies diploma bring their diverse cultures, values, histories and languages to the classroom. Students who complete an Indigenous Diploma Program may choose to continue their education and pursue a Bachelor’s degree, transferring their diploma credits.

The Department of Canadian Studies offers a Diploma for students who wish to undertake a single academic year (September to April) focused directly upon Canadian political economy, society, environment, and culture. Students wishing to enrol in the Diploma program must apply, in writing, to the chair of the department, indicating course preferences. As the number of spaces is limited, acceptance is not automatic. The chair or designate selects the successful candidates in consultation with the Admissions Committee.

In this age of globalization and innovation, the ability to acquire, develop, and motivate talented people has become the number one challenge for most organizations.

The Indigenous Environmental Studies & Sciences Diploma program, developed in partnership with the Yellowknives Dene First Nation, incorporates Dene ways of knowing and being, including course work involving Dene land use protocols, Dene land stewardship practices, and traditional Dene land navigation skills. The Diploma is offered jointly by the Trent University School of the Environment and Chanie Wenjack School for Indigenous Studies, with links to Indigenous Environmental Studies/Sciences degree program.
