In collaboration with Yellowknives Dene First Nation, the Indigenous Environmental Studies & Sciences Diploma is intended for students of Indigenous ancestry who may be interested in specific educational opportunities or a pathway to a university degree.
The Diploma is a two-year, six-term program open to students who have the equivalent of Ontario Grade 12 equivalent (including Northwest Territories Grade 12), or qualify as mature students. Students will apply directly to Yellowknives Dene First Nation with the recommendation for admission made to Trent University.
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.
