BA in Indigenous languages

The University of Winnipeg

Indigenous languages are the foundation of Indigenous knowledges and communities. The Indigenous Languages Thematic Major provides students with an interdisciplinary education in Indigenous Languages that focuses on revitalization, planning, and communication. Through core courses in Indigenous Studies and Linguistics, students grow as proficient speakers of an Indigenous language and as capable proponents of Indigenous language revitalization. Students have opportunities for experiential learning to complement teaching and research. Graduates of the program will join a growing community of people who are dedicated to, and have the skills to support, ongoing learning, speaking, researching, and teaching Indigenous languages, contributing to the revitalization of Indigenous languages. This program includes three Certificate options (30 credit hours each), which can lead to a Bachelor of Arts degree (3-year or 4-year). Students may also choose to take this degree as part of an Integrated BEd/BA to pursue a career in teaching Indigenous languages in K-12 classrooms.
