Indigenous Language Certificates to be Offered

The College of Education will soon be offering an Indigenous language certificate

Students will be able to obtain certificates in Indigenous languages for the first time at the University of Saskatchewan starting this fall.

A memorandum of understanding signed today between the College of Education and the College of Arts and Science marks a formal commitment to work together in the delivery of services and programs such as language certificates. The agreement promises new opportunities for enhancing First Nations, Métis, and Inuit programming at the U of S.
