Northern Advancement
 Program


  Northern Advancement Program


 Melissa Teed started at UNBC as a NAP student in 2008 and is currently pursuing a Bachelors' of Commerce degree at UNBC.
 
Because of cultural and sociological differences, traditionally, First Nations students from smaller and rural communities have had the most difficulty adjusting to university in a larger centre  The First Nations Centre, in cooperation with the Faculty of Arts and Science, offers a transition year studies program to students who wish to attend the University of Northern British Columbia.  The intention is to create a program of study that is relevant to First Nations students from smaller and rural communities and will support students from initial enrollment to graduation.  This program allows students to take full advantage of the educational opportunities offered, and prepares them for subsequent employment.  This program will also ensure that a higher percentage of students will successfully complete their degrees as a result of an easier adjustment to, and enjoyment of, university life in a larger centre.
