About

Program details

Expected duration: 4 years

Students who major in Indigenous Business Studies will gain a better understanding of First Nations, MÃ©tis, and Inuit communities and their role in economic development.

Course offerings are drawn from Native Studies, Faculty of Arts and Asper School of Business and feature Indigenous peoples, culture, history, and organizations.

Students who obtain a major in Indigenous Business Studies complemented with any other Asper major will have a competitive advantage when they seek employment. As the importance of working with Indigenous organizations becomes a priority as an act of reconciliation, your studies will set you apart from other candidates. This major is open to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students.

Choosing a major

In the Asper Bachelor of Commerce program, students typically choose a major at the beginning of their third year. Each student must declare at least one major and present a minimum Degree Grade Point Average of 2.00.

It is important to make sure you are following the correct program requirements for your chosen major. The best way to do this is to email an Asper program advisor or call the Asper Help Line at 204-474-6388.
