2+2 Mohawk/Lambton College Consortium Program Students

  • Students can receive both a certificate and bachelor’s degree in Indigenous Studies within a four-year period of study at Mohawk or Lambton College and McMaster University.  
  • Students can apply for their transfer on the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC).

Post-Secondary Transfer Students

Students with a college background are assessed on a case-by-case basis and admission is by selection. Most McMaster programs have enrolment limits and admission is by selection. Possessing the minimum admission requirements does not guarantee admission. 

College applicants typically apply to Level I programs. Some programs base admission decisions on college performance, while others use only high school. Transfer credit may be available. 

How to apply

Applicants apply for transfer using the online OUAC application. Information regarding application dates, deadlines and admission requirements is available on the Future Students website.
