The Certificate Program in Native American & Indigenous Studies provides an opportunity to learn about and become more sensitized to the development, growth, and interactions of Native American and Indigenous peoples in the U.S., the Western Hemisphere, and around the world. The program emphasizes both historical topics and contemporary life.  The interdisciplinary and interdepartmental approach is intended to foster an understanding of the many facets of lifeways, including cultural forms, institutions, political economies, and modes of self-expression.

Courses for the program are offered at the University and at other colleges in the Five College Consortium. The most up-to-date list of course offereings can be found at https://www.fivecolleges.edu/natam/courses.
