Profile

The First Nations University of Canada offers undergraduate and graduate degrees, accredited by the University of Regina, within an environment of Indian culture and history. It combines First Nation-oriented and standard areas of study in programs, which include: Indigenous Studies; Indian Languages, Literature and Linguistics; Indian Education; Indian Communication Arts; Public and Business Administration; Indigenous Social Work; Nursing; Indian Fine Arts; and Sciences.

The First Nations University of Canada is independently administered and was established in 1976 through a federated partnership with the University of Regina. It is the only First Nations-controlled university in Canada and has the largest concentration of Aboriginal faculty in one institution in the world.

First Nations and non-First Nations students have access to a range of programs offered on three campuses in Saskatchewan: Regina (Main Campus), Saskatoon and Prince Albert (Northern Campus). In addition, the First Nations University of Canada offers web-based classes, as well as distance education and community-based university classes which are coordinated and delivered by the
Northern Campus. Students who study at the First Nations University of Canada also have access to classes offered by the University of Regina and its two other federated colleges, Campion College and Luther College.
