The Circumpolar Studies program consists of two components: Core and Advanced Emphases. The BCS Core consists of an introduction and six courses in three interdisciplinary fields of study that provide students with a broad knowledge and understanding of the lands, peoples, and critical issues of the circumpolar world.
Each online course is worth 6 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) credits, equal to a 3 credit course in many North American institutions. |
