Academic Coordinator: G. Poelzer (International Centre for Northern Governance and Development)
The University of Saskatchewan is a member institution of the University of the Arctic, a consortium of more than 100 colleges, universities, research institutes, and indigenous organizations from around the eight Arctic states (Canada, Denmark/Greenland, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden and USA/Alaska). UArctic has developed seven 3 credit-unit courses focusing on northern issues, which are available to students at all UArctic member institutions. As a consortium member, the University of Saskatchewan has committed to recognizing and offering credit for these courses. These courses form the core of the interdisciplinary B.A. program in Northern Studies. The Northern Studies program offers students the opportunity to learn about the lands, peoples and issues of the circumpolar North with a special emphasis given to matters concerning indigenous people. Students pursuing a degree in Northern Studies are required to complete an advanced emphasis stream in either aboriginal administration or environmental impact assessment and must also meet Program Type B requirements of the College of Arts & Science.
The Coordinator, Interdisciplinary Programs provides administrative support to the Northern Studies Coordinator, as well as being the initial contact for students requiring assistance; E-mail: contact.nrth@arts.usask.ca.
