UMass Amherst
The Graduate Certificate in Native American Indian Studies curriculum is designed to provide opportunities for both Native and non-Native graduate students to learn about Native communities and to integrate that knowledge into their specific fields of study. The program has an equal focus on contemporary Native American Indians studying and accomplishing undergraduate and graduate degrees and engaging in academic collaborations and research with Native American communities. The sense of community created through this collaboration extends the nature of inquiry to include local, regional, national and scientific concerns and is essential to an engaged institution working within Native Studies.
