Overview
The Leadership & Management Program is open to people of all cultures, and offers courses from an Indigenous perspective, inviting students to develop critical thinking skills and knowledge from diverse fields, including core business and management skills, and leadership approaches. Programming addresses the human dimensions of the student: mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual, and incorporates traditional knowledge and contemporary experience in a holistic model. The delivery model incorporates the teachings of the natural law and students are supported in personal as well as academic growth. Participatory action and discovery learning methods ensure learning is anchored in experience.
The flexibility in program scheduling, including potential for modular programming, allows for team building and departmental training for professional development, as well as for people currently employed to enhance skills and knowledge. This option invites direct and immediate application of learning while maintaining responsibilities at work, contributing to organizational and community growth and advancement. Students prepare for supervisory, managerial, and leadership positions in general and Indigenous self-governing environments, as well as in small business and the corporate world.
The Leadership & Management Program offers a laddered approach grounded in Indigenous Knowledge and continues here, with the
Management Diploma.
After complting this diploma program you may complete the program with a Bachelor's Degree in
Leadership & Management.
Most students complete the entire program in 5 years, however, students with transfer credit and/or strong personal and academic skills may accelerate their program. Credentials will not be awarded retroactively as program requirements change. Former students are advised that they must be currently registered active students and successfully complete the courses they are registered in to be eligible to be awarded a credential (certificate, diploma, degree).
