Delivered full-time at the Exchange District Campus in downtown Winnipeg with a September intake, the program develops theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and workplace experience for careers addressing socio-economic development and environmental issues. Graduates are prepared for roles in non-profit, community, and social enterprise organizations.
