Indigenous Nations and Organizations*

* The Bachelor of Management, Indigenous Nations and Organizations Major, is closed to new students as of July 1, 2020. Existing students will be able to remain in the program until July 1, 2025.

The Bachelor of Management in Indigenous Nations and Organizations (INO) major is designed in response to a need for Indigenous business-related education.

This new and unique business program, offered only at Athabasca University, will enable you to focus on principles of Indigenous business and governance. This major blends cultural relevance into the core management curriculum in order to overcome many of the social barriers that discourage the full participation of Indigenous students in educational settings.

The program also acknowledges and develops the role of traditional knowledge in academic institutions. It will prepare you to meet the needs of the kind of community that you may serve when you graduate.

If you have career interests in Aboriginal business, this program will provide you with the opportunity to concentrate your studies in areas such as leadership, management, community development and negotiation.
