The Faculty of Native Studies and the Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences offer a five-year integrated program of 150 leading to Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees. A better academic understanding of the Aboriginal use of resources can prepare students to work effectively in various contexts where knowledge of Aboriginal and Treaty rights and issues is required.

The major in the Combined Degrees program is Human Dimensions of Environmental Management.
