Dal’s new Indigenous Studies minor set to launch this fall – Dal.ca

July 14, 2015

Students interested in the history and culture of First Nations peoples here in Nova Scotia and across the country will have a brand new option to add to their Dal undergrad degree this fall.

In September, Dalhousie is launching its new minor in Indigenous Studies. The program will be available to students in a variety of Bachelor’s programs, including Arts, Commerce, Science, Computer Science, Informatics and Management.

In development for a couple of years now, the program fulfills the organizers’ goal of an academic program at Dalhousie in recognition and appreciation of the Mi’kmaq people whose traditional territory the school is built on. It also brings together courses from several different faculties and departments, making it easier for students with an interest in indigenous topics and issues to integrate those into their studies.
