Indigenous programs and courses
At Concordia, students can choose from a wide array of Indigenous educational offerings, from full programs and courses to electives.
First Peoples Studies Program
The First Peoples Studies program is a major designed to introduce the student to the world of First Peoples (First Nations, Inuit and Métis), specifically within the Quebec context. It investigates the history, the current situation, and the changing needs of First Peoples.
Elective groups
Elective Groups are focused on a given theme, but they are broad in the sense that courses are taken in a range of disciplines. These elective credits are normally taken outside your program of concentration (Major, Specialization, or Honours). Elective Groups allow you to take your electives in a more structured and meaningful form. An Elective Group can be used to partially satisfy the Arts and Science requirement for 24 credits outside your discipline or department.
