The program emphasizes content and approaches that are specifically relevant to understanding Northern and Indigenous societies, economies, and landscapes. Students take courses in multiple disciplines and develop a broad base of knowledge and skills relevant to Northern studies, careers, leadership, and community- and place-based relationships.
