Who can apply for Indigenous Education Programs?

The Schulich School of Education at Nipissing University offers three professional education programs designed for First Nation, Métis and Inuit students. Programs are offered on our beautiful natural campus, which sits on the traditional territory of Nipissing First Nation, within the Robinson-Huron Treaty of 1850, and amid a stunning 720 acres of Canadian Shield forest in North Bay, Ontario. 

 

Why apply for an Indigenous Education Program?

Our teaching approach blends traditional Indigenous culture, knowledge, and worldviews with contemporary understandings of educational theory and practice. Classes are delivered in an inclusive environment where students have access to holistic academic, personal and cultural supports, Elder support as well as a designated student success co-ordinator.

 

All programs offer supports to provide students the opportunity to pursue their educational goals with minimal interruptions to their family and employment responsibilities.
