The University also offers graduate programs such as Master of Indigenous Social Work, Master of Arts with specialization in Indigenous Languages/ Linguistics, and a Master of Indigenous Education.
Reporting to the President, and as a member of the University’s executive team, the Vice-President Academic provides leadership for the academic mission of the institution with a view to ensuring student success and academic excellence within a culturally inclusive First Nations environment. The Vice-President Academic plays a leading role in the development and implementation of the strategic direction for the University as well as maintaining, developing, and enhancing the quality of education at First Nations University of Canada. This includes fostering First Nations and Western knowledge traditions in a balanced, meaningful, and respectful way.

This forward-thinking and inspiring leader will oversee the functioning of all academic units, campuses, community-based programs, and instructional delivery systems, including the First Nations University of Canada’s Library, as well as the Offices of the Registrar and Student Success Services. As a strong collaborator, the Vice-President Academic works in close consultation with the President, Associate Vice President Academic, Directors, Academic Heads, Coordinators and Librarians, and with academic leaders at the University of Regina and other partner institutions.

The Vice-President Academic will play a leading role in the financial management and resource allocation of the institution, while ensuring balanced participation by faculty in teaching, research, and service areas, including service to Indigenous communities.
