Indigenous Diploma Programs

About

Trent's exceptional Indigenous diploma programs provide a clear path for First Nations, MeÌtis or Inuit students who wish to make the transition into university
level studies. In a supportive and inclusive environment, students in the Transition Year program and the Indigenous Environmental Studies diplomas 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.
