About the course

Trent?s exceptional Indigenous diploma programs provide a clear path for self-identifying First Nations, M?tis or Inuit students who wish to make the transition into university level studies. In a supportive and inclusive environment, students in the Indigenous Environmental Studies diploma bring their diverse cultures, values, histories and languages to the classroom. Students who complete an Indigenous Diploma Program may choose to continue their education and pursue a Bachelor?s degree, transferring their diploma credits. The majority of students complete a diploma and degree within four years.

　　The Diploma is a two-year program open to students who have the equivalent of Ontario Grade 12 or qualify as mature students.

　　The Diploma will be awarded upon successful completion of the program. A Trent University transcript will identify all courses undertaken and grades received.

　　Students who have earned the Diploma may apply for admission to the BA or BSc program. Credits earned in the Diploma program are transferable to the General or Honours BA and BSc degrees.

　　Indigenous students seeking admission to this or other University programs should contact the Aboriginal enrolment advisor in the First Peoples House of Learning to inquire about getting special assistance with the admission process. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
