The Master of Indigenous Land-Based Education is the first degree program of its kind. The course structure and offerings are designed with online offerings during the fall and winter terms of the academic year to accommodate students who are unable to leave their communities to study during the regular academic school year in person due to work and/or family commitments. To accommodate the K-12 school year, during the spring/summer academic term, two field-based courses on the land are held. The program is a 30-credit unit program, in this blended model of field-based and online courses. This structure is designed to maximize contact hours with faculty, with Indigenous communities, and with the land.
