Nunavut Arctic College has a strong commitment to provide high quality educational opportunities to all residents of Nunavut. The College has five campuses: Nunatta Campus, including Piqqusilirivvik in Clyde River, the Nunavut Research Institute Science Campus in Iqaluit, Kivalliq Campus and the Nunavut Trades Training Centre in Rankin Inlet and the Kitikmeot Campus, located in Cambridge Bay.

Community Learning Centres located all 25 communities of Nunavut bring our programs home to people throughout the territory. These Centres are a doorway to a wider world of learning opportunities. Each Community Learning Centre is staffed by an Adult Educator who can provide information and guidance to anyone seeking further education.

Adult Educators are able to conduct academic assessments and assist people in making vocational and educational choices. They can also help individuals to find information on career programs through Nunavut Arctic College or other community colleges and universities. College courses are designed to meet the ever-changing needs of the people of Nunavut.

Arctic College is a leader in Adult Basic Education. Arctic College Fine Arts programs are nationally recognized and produce skilled artisans, important to the economy of the region. Business and management courses and customized training courses are helping to train the professional workforce of Nunavut.

Nunavut Arctic College has also been a leader in developing successful education partnerships. The College’s two degree programs are delivered in partnership with the University of Regina—Teacher Education and Dalhousie University for the Nunavut Nursing degree. These partnerships allow students to obtain their Bachelor of Education or Bachelor of Science in Nursing entirely in the North.

The Nunavut Research Institute, a division of the College, is mandated to identify community needs for research and technology and act as the science advisor to the Government of Nunavut.

The Institute also supports College researchers and seeks to promote and preserve the use of traditional Inuit knowledge and technology. Licenses for field research are also issued by the Institute. Each year about one hundred and fifty licenses are issued for a wide range of studies, with support for field work being made available by the Institute’s centres in Iqaluit, Igloolik, Cambridge Bay, Arviat and Rankin Inlet.
