Program overview
Mi’kmaq history, language, governance and contemporary issues combined with community based learning, delivered with supervised placement in Mi’kmaq or Indigenous serving organisations.
Unama’ki is home to five Mi’kmaq communities, and the university’s established relationships mean placements happen inside those communities rather than in organisations that merely serve them from outside. That distinction matters enormously in this field and cannot be replicated by a programme elsewhere.
Because Bachelor of Arts Community Studies in Mikmaq Studies is a degree, it sits outside the field of study restrictions that apply to non degree credentials, and no CIP code check is required.
