Learner goals and capabilities

Students from University College of the North have gained a thorough understanding of the day-to-day management and administration of reserve lands, environmental impact issues, and resource extraction processes and policies.

The focus of their studies has included the benefit of use and development of land for individual, collective, and economic purposes and students have additionally gained a foundation in the basic environmental, legal and economic aspects of land management.

This program has offered our students the opportunity to learn about legal and legislative requirements as increased understanding of legislation will reduce risk and improve decision making, which they would be able to apply at your organization in a project.
