NAIS Certificate Program
Courses in our NAIS certificate programs aim to strengthen your knowledge of Indigenous communities and sovereignty. You will be encouraged to take part of an ongoing global transformation in our understanding of history, colonialism, race and ethnicity, identity, language, arts, nationhood, citizenship, law, religion, politics, ecology, resources, climate change, and transnational relationships. Our certificates allow you to take advantage of the diversity of research and teaching on Indigenous topics at CU Boulder.
Please visit the CU Boulder Catalog to see our approved courses for our Graduate certificate and our Undergraduate Certificate.
During my research, I found myself confused on how to put into words my Indigenous knowledge on paper. The NAIS certificate gave me courses, colleagues, and resources for articulating and understanding my experiences. It also provided me with colleagues who validated and encouraged my work. - Allison Cawthon, K-5 music teacher Burlington Elementary School.
