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 York 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. Crownshire 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. Crownshire’s HLC and DEAC story stays on the accreditation page. No fake seals. MA Native Student Success and Research Ethics is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 18 months, and the credit total is 36. Students move from Midwest Native Nations and Urban Communities as Institutional Facts through Midwest Native Nations and Urban Communities as Institutional Facts; Education Histories without Deficit Folklore; Federal, State, and Campus Policy Literacy (Academic); Advising, Funding, and Stop-Out Patterns; Campus Climate as Schedules, Housing, and Food; Dual-Pathway Access for Students Far from York, and finish on Capstone Proposal Review. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students apply the method of the subject to a defined problem and defend the result. Reading is a core text, a case or dataset, and a critique. The artefact a marker expects is a submission that shows the method, the evidence, and the limit of the claim. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Design student-success operations without mascot curricula Write research-ethics artefacts that name sovereignty and refusal Refuse teacher-licensure and tribal-citizenship overclaim Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
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.
