General Program
The Bachelor of Arts in Native Studies/Bachelor of Education Combined Degrees allow students to select either the Secondary or the Elementary program route. This degree program consists of 150 units overall. The first three years (90 units) are taken in the Faculty of Native Studies and the last two years (60 units) are taken in the Faculty of Education (see BA (Native Studies)/BEd Five-Year Combined Degrees ). Students in these Combined Degrees may choose a Cree Major or a Native Studies Major in the Secondary route. Students are advised to refer to Education Chart 1 when selecting courses for their Education Major Teaching Subject. Students in the Elementary route select a minor in Native Education, Cree Language or Social Studies. The sequencing of courses taken in the program does not allow for much flexibility throughout the five years; therefore, students should plan their programs carefully. Students are advised to follow the prescribed order as closely as possible.
