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 Combined Degrees between Environmental and Conservation Sciences and Native Studies are a means for students to specialize in the management of Aboriginal resources. The major in the Combined Degrees program is Human Dimensions of Environmental Management. Enrolment management procedures of the Faculty of Native Studies and the Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences will apply for all years of the program.

Students will remain in the Faculty to which they were admitted for the duration of their program.
