Certificate in Administration I

The Certificate in Administration I is a 15-credit-hour certificate and the entry credential in First Nations University of Canada's laddered Bachelor of Administration (BAdmin) pathway, which also includes the Certificate in Administration II, a Diploma of Administration, and the full Bachelor of Administration. The BAdmin program offers an Indigenous-centred approach to business leadership, governance, and management, balancing academic theory, strategic and conceptual thinking, and hands-on application of business principles. Core areas of study across the pathway include marketing, human resources, finance, accounting, entrepreneurship, and public administration. Completing this certificate lets students continue toward the higher credentials in the same program without restarting their studies. Graduates of the wider Administration pathway are prepared for roles such as band manager, financial analyst, human resources professional, and project manager.
