2010's

Summer 2010: A cohort of Mi’kmaw students (N=15) take some first-year MSIT courses as part of an in-community, access delivery of the Bachelor of Arts program by Cape Breton University for Millbrook First Nation.
July 2010: Unama’ki College of Cape Breton University replaces previously existing Mi’kmaq College Institute (MCI) at Cape Breton University. Integrative Science academic program transferred from Department of Biology within School of Science and Technology to new Department of Indigenous Studies within Unama’ki College of Cape Breton University.
Present time: As noted elsewhere, the current status of the Integrative Science academic program (note: "academic program") is that it is "on pause" within a period of potential for action towards modification and re-invigoration. At the same time, some first-year MSIT courses are being taught in Mi'kmaw communities as part of an access delivery of courses for a first year in the Bachelor of Arts degree program. These deliveries of MSIT courses are independent of the formal structure of the Integrative Science academic program.
