The dynamic faculty in the Department of Arts & Education provides students with a variety of university programs in preparation for further studies. The choice of degree completion or transferring to another institution after one or two years of study is available to students. Students can complete their degrees on campus in any of the three University Studies programs, Bachelor of Arts, Education and Social Work.
Through the University of Alberta, a Bachelor of Education (Elementary) degree is offered. GPRC is a host site for a Bachelor of Social Work degree program through the University of Calgary.
The priority of the Arts & Education Department is to ensure quality education and teaching effectiveness in a learning environment that emphasizes student-teacher contact, both in and out of the classroom.
GPRC has an excellent reputation for course quality and student satisfaction. Many faculty members in the Arts & Education Department conduct research, publish books and articles, and have completed or are near completion of their Ph.D.

*At this time, the five (5) seats have been filled. Please send any inquiries to IndigenousStudies@gprc.ab.ca
GPRC Arts and Education is excited for the second pilot delivery of our Introduction to Indigenous Governance course in online and land-based learning contexts. We have combined the teachings of Indigenous scholars and wisdom keepers, into a blend of online learning with a three-day land-based component. The land-based learning component reflects Indigenous resurgence through land-based survival skills.
We are offering five (5) seats as Open Access non-credit course for Indigenous peoples. Participants who have completed the Open Access non-credit option will receive a Certificate of Accomplishment from GPRC. Those who register for this option, may apply to take the credit course at a later date.
This course is part of the Indigenous Studies Redesign Project funded through a Post-Secondary Partnership Program Grant (INAC) with further support from TD Bank.
