Suncrest, FNU expand Indigenous education program access

Suncrest College and First Nations University of Canada will launch a new cohort of the Bachelor of Indigenous Education program this fall that will include a remote option. The remote option expands access for students in northeast Saskatchewan by allowing them to stay closer to home while completing the four-year program. The program blends Indigenous content, land-based learning, and classroom experience, and graduates are certified to teach in Saskatchewan. “The program plays a vital role in promoting Indigenous knowledge, culture, and reconciliation through education,” said Suncrest VP of Academics and Learner Engagement Teri Thompson.
