University of Manitoba

The University of Manitoba was established in 1877. It is one of four universities in the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba and was the first university to be established in Western Canada.

Program description: The Aboriginal Business Studies Major offers all Asper School of Business students an opportunity to complement their major with courses or with a second major that many corporate and Aboriginal employers value. 

Professional opportunities:
Students who obtain an Aboriginal Business Studies major to complement any one of the other majors (i.e. Finance, Accounting, Human Resources) will have a competitive advantage when they seek employment at an organization that works with Aboriginal communities (such as RBC, Great West Life, Manitoba Hydro, Chartered Accountants, etc.). As the Aboriginal population continues to grow in Manitoba, this competitive advantage will set you apart from other candidates. This major is open to both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students.
