Why UND?

Accredited through UND’s regional accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission, this is the only Ph.D. in Indigenous Health offered in the U.S. and Canada.

Our program is taught by a variety of scholars. The curriculum is available through distance education/interactive video with two week-long on-site sessions per year, so students can live anywhere and participate in the degree program. The program is offered as both an Academic Track and an Applied Track for students interested in either academic roles at universities or applied roles in communities. 

All students will complete a dissertation. Research assistantships will be available to students to work with scholars at UND. We anticipate that all students will have publishable products upon completion of the Ph.D., and we will facilitate opportunities to present their work at national and international conferences.

At degree completion students will be equipped with the skills and knowledge leading to a multitude of job opportunities including health researcher, health program evaluator, health policy analyst, university or tribal college faculty, tribal health director, health program administrator, indigenous health consultant, non-profit administrator, and public health officer, among numerous other roles.
