Mr. Benjamin Burgess (bburgess@bemidjistate.edu)
The Indian Studies program is open to all students. It offers Ojibwe and other Indian students an academic area of study relevant to the diversity of their cultural heritage. It offers Indian and other students a better understanding and appreciation of the diversity of Indian history, language, and culture.
The Indian Studies major is designed to provide a cultural, political, and historical background for a companion major in a skills area (applied study major).
The Department of Languages and Ethnic Studies offers a minor in Ojibwe. Campus services available to Indian students include the American Indian Resource Center, the Council of Indian Students, Native Americans into Medicine, and an American Indian Science and Education Society chapter.
See Section II, Enrollment for required high school preparation.
Students are encouraged to discuss with their advisor the option of a second major or minor that might strengthen or complement their major.
Transfer Students: At least one-third of the credits to be included in the major must be successfully completed at Bemidji State University.
