The Indigenous Educational Studies programs offer a Bachelor of Education in Indigenous Adult Education as well as a Certificate in Indigenous Adult Education.
Each program is designed to enhance the abilities of individuals working with, or aspiring to work with, adult populations in a variety of educational/training contexts.
The Bachelor of Education in Indigenous Adult Education incorporates Indigenous learning preferences and cultural diversity, focusing on Turtle Island Indigenous cultures and issues. This community based curriculum model relies on qualified local Indigenous educators to facilitate the learner’s educational journey. Courses are offered in a facilitated blended learning cohort model, face-to-face at locations across Ontario as well as online.
The Bachelor of Education in Indigenous Adult Education program does not lead to an Ontario Certificate of Qualification. For further information contact the Program Co-ordinator.
Admissions
To meet candidates’ needs, three application routes are available.
Program A:
For those who already hold an undergraduate degree and are pursuing a Bachelor of Education in Indigenous Adult Education as a second degree.
Program B:
For those who do not hold an undergraduate degree but have completed undergraduate credits or hold a College diploma or are applying as a mature student and are pursuing a degree in Indigenous Adult Education.
Certificate in Indigenous Adult Education:
For those who hold neither an undergraduate degree nor a College diploma or are applying as a mature student and are pursuing a Certificate in Indigenous Adult Education.
