Program Goals, Delivery and Requirements
Our graduate programs in Indigenous Policy and Administration (IPA) prepare students to be innovators and leaders in First Nation, Métis and Inuit governments and organizations, as well as in other governments and organizations that work with them. They do so by strengthening the knowledge and skills for meeting the challenges of governance, policy development and its implementation, with a particular emphasis on both managing sustainable development, and introducing new methods of community economic and social development.
The requirements for your program are set out in the Graduate Calendar. The IPA diploma program takes different forms. Make sure you understand what you need to complete your program.
