The curriculum includes significant northern and native studies content, reflecting northern environmental, economic, and social contexts.
Students may complete up to 60 credits of appropriate coursework at Yukon College, University of Alberta or an equivalent institution before being admitted to the Northern ENCS program.
Students must complete a minimum of 60 credits of University of Alberta coursework while registered in the ENCS Program. Courses delivered in partnership with Yukon College will generally represent years 3 and 4 of the ENCS program.
