Program Details
The First Nation Health Administration Degree Program will be based on Indigenous worldview by way of language, culture, and traditional practices. It will also focus on the western theory and practices in health administrative management that support the delivery of Indigenous healing and wellness practices. The FNHA program strives to increase capacity in the community and ensure the sustainability of health programs and services at the community.
It will include the option to take one of three Indigenous languages, Nehiyaw, Anishinaabe, or Stoney Nakota throughout the four years. Courses will also include Indigenous ways of knowing and political thought in the areas of cultural resurgence, governance, leadership, de-colonizing research, and traditional medicines.
The FNHA program is delivered in a four-year period, offering courses from fall to spring. Each semester has four courses for the fall and winter and two for spring semester. Each course is 3 credits for a total of 30 credits per year and 120 for the 4-year degree program.
