Indigenous languages
The Indigenous Languages Program (INLP) works with Indigenous speech communities and organizations to enable Indigenous language learning off-campus in Indigenous communities.
About the Indigenous Languages Program
Since 1993 and in partnership with Indigenous organizations, we have offered courses in some 18 languages in British Columbia and Yukon. The program resides in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) at SFU.
At the undergraduate level, we offer a certificate program and a diploma program in Indigenous Language Proficiency.
In collaboration with the Department of Linguistics, we also offer Indigenous languages programs at the graduate level.
Admission to INLP
Students from an Indigenous partner community interested in joining the Indigenous Languages Program (INLP)1 must first apply for admission to SFU through our Admission2 process.
