Description
Tradition~Innovation~Leadership~Knowledge. First Nations University of Canada (FNUniv) is a unique institution, founded in 1976 with the vision of providing Indigenous education to people of all backgrounds. Traditional and contemporary Indigenous knowledge form part of the curriculum across a range of academic disciplines. Through ceremony, specialized activities and services, students learn in a cultural environment designed to promote awareness and respect for First Nations and other Indigenous cultures.
Our programs aim to educate, empower and enlighten students. Whether you are an aspiring educator, an emerging artist or an entrepreneur-at-heart, FNUniv has a program for you! As a federated college of the University of Regina, FNUniv students enjoy the benefits of that federation and receive University of Regina certificates, diplomas and degrees.
We have three campuses which are located in Prince Albert, Saskatoon and Regina. Our philosophy is that learning is a lifelong process that encompasses all aspects of a person’s well-being. In addition to our strong academic programming, we also offer supports and services for students such as:
• Onsite Elders at all three campuses
• Cultural activities such as monthly pipe ceremonies, round dances and beading circles
• Free tutoring and writing assistance
• Seminars on helpful topics such as time management and budgeting
• Scholarships, bursaries and awards specific to FNUniv students
• Student associations at all three campuses
