B.A. (Honours) in Indigenous Environmental Studies/Science

Trent University

Trent’s groundbreaking Indigenous Environmental Studies/Science (IESS) degree program, offered jointly with the School of the Environment, is the first program of its kind in North America. This degree focuses on the interaction and collaboration of Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Euro-centric Knowledge Systems, and offers two study pathways. Choose to complete a Bachelor of Arts (Studies) and gain an understanding of the social, cultural, and human experiences with the environment through an Indigenous perspective. Choose the Bachelor of Science (Sciences) pathway and gain the theory and skills to analyze the natural world, from Indigenous and Western perspectives. With guidance and support from leading Indigenous and non-Indigenous faculty, Elders, guest speakers, and scholars, you’ll learn to apply critical, creative and innovative thinking to address climate change, sustainability, health, food security, and other complex issues affecting Indigenous and all peoples around the world.
