Heritage and Culture Certificate (Not currently accepting applications)

About this programme

An effective heritage department can be a tremendous asset to an Indigenous government. Become a member of these teams, and help root the entire government in its past so it can use that knowledge to inform its future. However, many of the courses developed for the program are on the schedule, and may be taken one-off by Open Studies students, or as part of another School of Social Sciences and Humanities certificate or diploma program. If you're interested in the subject of the program, consider our Liberal Arts certificate or diploma or our Northern Studies diploma. A program advisor can help you select courses to meet your personal goals. Combining theory and practice, the Heritage and Culture certificate (HCC) prepares students for work in the heritage and culture management field, with a specific focus on Yukon First Nations heritage and culture management. Students develop a foundation of professional ethics and values, self-awareness and critical thinking, and an understanding of heritage issues within their communities. The HCC is available to students in the communities through distance-learning technologies. If students do not meet any of these admissions requirements, they should explore other entry options with the HCC Coordinator. Students who do not meet HCC admissions requirements can also explore Heritage and Culture access pathways--packages of access-level coursework leading to the HCC program--with the Chair of Liberal Arts ( 867 668 8770 ).
