As clinicians, they would be capable of functioning in a broad spectrum of human services activity and in a wide variety of social work and social welfare settings.  There will be a focus on the abuses of residential schools, including intergenerational effects, as one lens through which generic clinical skills, relevant to serving all populations, are developed. The program encourages the development of critical analytical framework with which to understand the effects of colonization on Indigenous people. The program has a commitment to respecting the principles and practices of Indigenous pedagogy, and to building its teaching and learning experiences on a foundation which respects traditional Indigenous knowledge and the collective wisdom of the Elders.

Process Systems Engineering (PSEng) is a broad category of engineering that deals with the process design for the purpose of converting raw goods to usable end products, including energy. Process engineering looks at the entire process from Point A, which is a raw material, to Point Z, which is the desired end product. It does not necessarily deal with acquiring the raw base material, although knowledge of its acquisition is part of the U of R’s systems approach to teaching and research.

Philosophy is the systematic study of ideas and issues; a reasoned pursuit of fundamental truths; a quest for a comprehensive understanding of ourselves and the world; the study of principles of conduct, thought and knowledge, and much more. One of philosophy's objectives is to break us of the habit of accepting things without question.  Philosophy endeavours to make us aware of the basic assumptions that shape our lives, and to subject them to careful scrutiny.  It is those objectives that produce graduates who are strong in areas of reasoning and problem solving, resulting in virtually limitless employment possibilities.
