These programs include: Doctor of Education, Master of Education, Educational Research Certificates and Diplomas, Master of Counselling, Bridge to Teaching Certificate, Doctor of Design, Social Work Certificates, Social Work Master’s and Doctoral students based in Edmonton and Lethbridge, Graduate Certificates in Advanced Nursing Practice, Doctor of Nursing, and Master of Nursing (thesis- and course-based programs).
