Since 2003, NS has been offering a second year of study for those
students wanting to deepen their understanding of Inuit history
and current issues, and/or prepare more specifically for college
or university. Students also continue to develop their skills
in Inuktitut, research and writing. Students take at least one
Inuit-specific course each semester at NS; their remaining courses
are delivered by Carleton University, Algonquin College, and the
University of the Arctic (the latter course is entirely on-line).
Students use NS as their home base, but otherwise manage their
schedules like typical college/university students. They do however,
remain accountable to NS for assignment completion. Tutorial support
is provided by NS.
