PROGRAM SUMMARY
Students completing this certificate program will be ready for entry-level management positions with Anishinaabe (Native American) tribes and other tribal organizations or to transfer to a 2 or 4 year degree granting institution to continue their education. Students will also be well-positioned to continue their studies toward the KBOCC Anishinaabe Studies Associate Degree, since the certificate retains the core components of the Associate Degree. Depending on placement (for the math requirement), full-time students could feasibly complete the certificate program in one year.
