Academic Outreach - NEP

Inspired by the award winning SFU Kamloops Program, the First Nations
Education Program or NEP's key focus is to fulfill the vision of
collective and individual empowerment of Aboriginal people through education.

Accredited high quality education with courses and programs serving the needs of
Aboriginal learners and their communities in collaboration with the First Nations communities
and taking into account First Nations perspectives, cultures, language and history.

Partnerships with Aboriginal communities and SFU academic programs (such as Archaeology,
First Nations Studies, and Linguistics) have enabled over 400 students to graduate through off-campus
community offerings (since 1989) many of whom would otherwise not have had access to a university education.
