2+2 Agreements: Indigenous Specializations from Lambton and Mohawk College
Note: Participants in this 2+2 agreement will not participate in the Indigenous Studies "in combination" program – only the independent Indigenous Studies program.
The first Laurier intake for this college pathway will be in September 2022. Lambton and Mohawk College students will be able to apply to Laurier for fall 2022 admission when applications open in fall 2021.
Students who have completed Lambton College's Liberal Studies Diploma with an Indigenous Studies specialization, or Mohawk College's General Arts and Science (University Transfer) Diploma with an Indigenous Specialization, with a minimum overall average of 75%, will be eligible for admission into Laurier's Honours Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Indigenous Studies program.
This articulation is a 2+2 agreement, meaning successful participants will transfer in with two years of college education and complete their university degree in only two additional years of study at Laurier.
If you qualify for participation in this agreement, in addition to the 10.0 transfer credits you will carry over from your college experience, you will earn 10.0 credits over two years at Laurier, as follows:
