Northlands College will offer a Bachelor of Administration program in the fall of the 2024.

It was announced in a media release Wednesday. The program is made possible through an agreement between the First Nations University of Canada (FNUniv), Northlands College, and the University of Regina.

“At the FNUniv, we strive to make our programming more inclusive to learners across Saskatchewan,” said program administrator Jason Bird.

“This [agreement] helps us realize part of that commitment and expands our reach to communities seeking further training and education. This partnership is another step in making our educational resources accessible to all. We are very proud to be offering the full Bachelor of Administration to northern and remote learners and believe this will create successful career pathways for numerous people.”

The application period is scheduled to open July 31, 2024, with courses beginning in the fall of 2024. The degree will include a total of 120 credit hours in administration and general university courses.

All courses will be delivered remotely from FNUniv, except when the institution can provide them in-person at Northlands or in a hybrid format.

“One of our core principles is keeping our learners first, and with this partnership, we are excited to provide newer educational opportunities to them and prepare learners for countless job opportunities in Northern Saskatchewan,” Northlands President and CEO Karsten Henriksen said.

“Partnering with FNUniv is a significant step, and we look forward to enhancing this relationship by introducing more programs for northern learners soon.”
