CERTIFICATE IN INDIAN COMMUNICATION ARTS (INCA)
FACULTY
S. Avison (Program Co-ordinator)
A two-year, 72-credit-hour program of studies, the Certificate in Indian Communication Arts is offered through SIFC's Department of Indian Communication Arts, in co-operation with the School of Journalism.
INCA provides academic training and professional experience that supports the entry of Aboriginal people into all areas of the communications industry, including Aboriginal and mainstream media, and public relations.
This is accomplished through the study of Indian history and politics, oral traditions, community-based research, business management, traditional and contemporary communication systems, languages, and art. INCA students master basic skills needed for reporting for print and electronic media, and learn business management skills for establishing and operating community-based media outlets.
To qualify for admission to INCA, students must be eligible for admission to the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College/University of Regina. Proficiency in English must be well above average, and it is strongly recommended that applicants have basic computer skills. Upon being accepted by the University of Regina (SIFC), students must contact the INCA department office, which will provide academic and professional advising.
The basic requirements of the INCA program are those of the pre-journalism program outlined below. INCA students take INST 281 and 282 and INCA 283 and 284 as electives in the pre-journalism program of the Faculty of Arts. In addition to the pre-journalism requirements, INCA students take INCA 200 (Summer Institute in Indian/Native Communication Arts) and INCA 290 (INCA Internship).
