Indigenous Pathways to Graduate Studies
Program overview
Over the course of the Winter academic session, undergraduate students interested in exploring graduate-level education will:
- Strengthen their understanding of graduate studies and the application process;
- Network with UBC Okanagan students, staff and faculty;
- Discover opportunities for different pathways to graduate studies programs;
- Participate in a mix of mandatory and optional workshops, events, social gatherings, and cultural activities.
Eligibility
Students eligible include those who:
- have self-identified as Indigenous,
- will be registered as a full-time undergraduate student at UBC’s Okanagan Campus in the 2024/25 Winter Session (September-April),
- will have second-year standing or above,
- are interested in exploring the pursuit of graduate-level education in the future (e.g., master’s degree, doctoral/PhD degree), and
- can commit to participate in regular programming and workshops from September 2024 to March 2025.*
Whether you are already planning to pursue graduate studies after your undergraduate degree, or you aren’t yet sure what your plans are after graduation, you are welcome to apply.
*Time commitments: The program will have regular workshops in September and October with activities to be completed by students on their own time. October to December will have 1-on-1 sessions and supports. January to March will have some workshops and activities, but to a lesser degree than Term 1. Workshops and events will usually be on Saturdays and range from 3-5 hours total (including lunch/dinners).
Apply
Space is limited, and an application is required.
