Indigenous governance program now on-line

UVic’s ground-breaking Indigenous Governance certificate program is now available on-line. The program, which provides students with the skills and perspectives required to lead today’s Indigenous governments, is based on a deep respect for Indigenous knowledge and traditions as well as a firm understanding of Western values. The on-line program uses one-on-one communication, small group discussion and classroom conferencing to bring students and instructors together. There is no classroom attendance. The program offers individual courses for credit or for leadership development in partnership with UVic’s school of public administration. Courses are available to students worldwide and can be completed from home or the office, wherever students have access to a computer and an internet connection. The on-line courses begin in September. For on-line application and program details visit www.uvic.ca/igov or contact Sheila Watts at sheilaw@uvic.ca or (250) 721-6438.
