Sovereignty, data ethics, and Midwest institutions—not a mascot course and not teacher licensure.
Online or on campus
Minnesota’s public and private campuses sit in a landscape of tribal nations, urban Native communities, and research histories that have not always been consensual. This MA treats Native student success as advising systems, funding rules, and climate—not as inspiration content. Research ethics modules insist that datasets about Native communities are not a free academic commons. You will write protocols that name consent, benefit, and refusal, and you will refuse mascot-and-mythology curricula. Dual-pathway delivery matters because many practitioners work far from Austin even when the university’s campus is there. Primary mode is declared. English-medium rules apply, including waiver for U.S. regionally accredited bachelor's. Optional campus conversations with partners occur only with permission; online students are not assessed on access they were not given. You will refuse curricula that treat Native students as a diversity metric or a mascot narrative. Research modules insist that benefit, refusal, and data ownership are design questions. Faculty will fail extractive ‘story harvest’ capstones. Frontier will not invent Native graphic identities for marketing. If a nation or archive declines partnership, that refusal is a successful ethics outcome, not a recruitment problem to override. The award is an academic MA. It is not PELSB licensure, not a tribal government appointment, not HLC endorsement of a ‘Native programme’ logo. Frontier’s HLC and DEAC story stays on the accreditation page. No fake seals.
Thirty-six credits: historical and legal literacy (academic), student-success operations, research ethics, and a supervised capstone with ethical constraints. Three-credit courses. Identity-checked assessment.
