School Description

Provided by Haskell Indian Nations University

Haskell has an average enrollment of over 1000 students each semester. Students represent federally recognized tribes from across the United States and are as culturally diverse as imaginable. Students select programs that will prepare them to enter baccalaureate programs in elementary teacher education, American Indian studies, business administration, and environmental science; to transfer to another baccalaureate degree-granting institution; or to enter directly into employment. Haskell continues to integrate American Indian/Alaska Native culture into all its curricula. This focus of the curriculum, besides its intertribal constituency and federal support through the Bureau of Indian Affairs, makes Haskell unique and provides exciting challenges as Haskell moves into the 21st century.

The mission of Haskell Indian Nations University, a land grant institution, is to serve members of federally recognized American Indian and Alaska Native nations as authorized by Congress and in partial fulfillment of treaty and trust obligations. With student learning as its focus, Haskell embraces the principles of sovereignty and self-determination through a culturally based holistic lifelong learning environment that promotes and upholds respect, rights, and responsibility.

Each semester, the Campus Activity Association, an agency of the Student Government, sponsors a variety of entertainment, including comedians, concerts, dances, excursions, and film nights. Among the most popular student activities are visits to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City and a Major League Baseball game. The Association reduces the cost of the ticket and provides transportation for students without cars.

Haskell Indian Nations University

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Haskell Indian Nations University is a four-year degree-granting university in Lawrence, Kansas, which offers post-high school education to members of federally recognized Native American tribes in the United States. Students are required to pay semester fees similar to many other colleges in the United States. In 2007-2008, the fee totals summed to $215. Typical enrollment is approximately 1,000 representing 150 tribes and all 50 states. A set of 12 buildings on the campus has been named a U.S. National Historic Landmark.

History

Haskell was formed as the United States Indian Industrial Training School in Lawrence, Kansas in 1884. Haskell was originally an Indian boarding school for 15 students and provided agricultural education for grades one through five. The emphasis was on assimilation — teaching the students to become members of the dominant society. The school’s name was changed to Haskell Institute in 1887 to honor Dudley Haskell, the U.S. Representative from Kansas who was responsible for the school being located in Lawrence. A semi-military system was initiated where students wore uniforms and marched to their classes and exercised regularly. Campus facilities included a brig, or jail for unruly students. By 1894 there were 606 students enrolled, representing 36 states. Haskell expanded its academic training beyond the eighth grade to include "normal school".

Haskell began offering college level classes in 1927. Haskell Institute graduated its last high school level class in 1965. In 1970 the college was accredited as Haskell Indian Junior College and offered only college-level classes.

A set of 12 historic buildings on the campus was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1961.

In 1993, with the addition of a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary teacher education, the Board of Regents changed the name to Haskell Indian Nations University.

Haskell offers majors in American Indian studies, environmental science, business administration, and elementary teacher education.

Best Answer

You need your general education requirements such as English, math, social sciences and others (check what KU requires). You should take biology, psychology (several), anatomy & physiology and human development. If your first school doesn't have, then you would take them at the next school.
