Admission to the first year of the Bachelor of Arts degree program requires satisfactory completion of an OSSHGD or OSSD, including 6 Ontario Academic courses or equivalent, with a minimum overall average of 60%. Applicants must include one Grade 13/Ontario Academic Course in English in their program.

ADULT STUDENTS

Applicants who are at least twenty-one years of age in the calendar year of entry, who are residents of Canada, and who have not attended post-secondary institutions for two years prior to their admission, will be considered as adult students.

1. The programs in the Faculty of Arts require a minimum of three full years of work.
2. B.A.’s are designed to acquaint the student with a broad range of thought in the liberal arts. A distribution of subjects among several related fields of knowledge is joined with a measure of concentration in one subject, called the major. Seven Generations Education Institute offers a Major in Indigenous Learning or a General Bachelor of Art Degree.
3. A student not wishing to follow the traditional Bachelor of Arts program with a major, may enter the General Program, which allows a student more latitude in choosing subjects. The General Program is aimed particularly at the adult student, although a student coming from high school may also enter the program. The intent is to permit the student to take any fifteen courses with a minimum of restrictions.

The Department of Indigenous Learning draws on the perspective of Indigenous peoples to provide programming to students so they may better understand contemporary issues. To do so the Department of Indigenous Learning offers programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree (Indigenous Learning Major), the Honours Bachelor of arts degree (Indigenous Learning Major), and a minor in Indigenous Learning combined with another discipline.

The Department of Indigenous Learning subscribes to the concept that a well-rounded educational experience is gained through a combination of disciplines. Therefore, students are encouraged to select electives which prepare them to enter fourth year undergraduate courses in another discipline or to proceed to graduate work in their chosen field upon successful completion of the Honours program in Indigenous Learning.

An overall average of 60% in at least three courses in Indigenous Learning taken in the first two years and an overall average of 60% in the Indigenous Learning courses taken in the third year. Courses will be chosen in consultation with the Department.

One Indigenous Learning elective may be a Native Language in addition to the required course in Native Language.
