What it is	This program lets you study the histories, cultures, languages, and contemporary issues of Indigenous peoples in Canada and beyond. You'll learn from Indigenous scholars and perspectives alongside traditional academic approaches. It suits students interested in Indigenous rights, policy, education, or community work who want deep knowledge beyond introductory survey courses.	Linguistics is the study of how language works — its structure, sounds, grammar, and how people use it to communicate. This program lets you focus specifically on language science rather than learning to speak a particular language fluently. You can also choose a co-op option to gain work experience in fields like translation, education, or language technology alongside your studies, which suits students who want practical experience before graduation.	Professional Translation is a program where you study how to translate texts, documents, and media between English and French at an advanced level. Unlike a general language degree, it focuses specifically on translation skills and techniques across different fields like business, law, media, and literature. It suits people who are fluent in both English and French and want to turn that skill into a career.
