The Indigenous University Bridging Program is a university preparation program for students of Indigenous ancestry. It's designed to meet the needs of Indigenous students preparing to pursue post-secondary education.
The program offers three levels of study designed for students requiring advanced upgrading with a concentration in Math and English. These core subjects are supplemented with Indigenous cultural courses, university preparation courses, and post-secondary arts and science courses. Tutorial services, academic and personal advising, social events and visits from community members support all levels.
Objectives
- To help meet the educational needs of Indigenous peoples
