Academically, the First Nations University of Canada, and the University of Regina are federated. The Indian Governments of Saskatchewan and the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations are in charge of the First Nations University of Canada through its Board of Governors (FSIN).

First Nations University is Canada's only publicly funded, entirely indigenous-owned university. Despite having its roots in Regina, the institution has expanded to include campuses in Prince Albert and Saskatoon, both in the province of Saskatchewan.

It is a post-secondary institution and federated college of the University of Regina, based in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The institution provides academic degrees in the humanities, social sciences, business, and sciences and some disciplines specifically geared toward aboriginal customs.

The goal of the First Nations University of Canada is centered on its students. This is still true, just as it was back when Saskatchewan Indian Federated College initially began (SIFC).

The First Nations University of Canada supports First Nations people in pursuing high-quality post-secondary education within a setting that reflects Indigenous peoples' objectives, values, and beliefs.

The Indian Studies, Indian Languages, Indian Teacher Education, Social Work, Fine Arts (Indian Art, Indian Art History), and Social Sciences programs were available when SIFC opened its doors in the fall of 1976 with nine students.

Since then, enrollment has steadily increased. In FNUniv, there is an average annual enrollment of more than 3,000 students, with more than 5,000 graduates from both the undergraduate and master's levels.

The university provides services and programs at its three Saskatchewan campuses in Regina, Saskatoon, and Prince Albert (Northern Campus), as well as online and community-based courses accessible across the nation and beyond.

FNUniv provides the curriculum for you, whether your career aspirations are to be a schoolteacher, a journalist, an entrepreneur, a language teacher/translator, or an environmental scientist. Our University, in collaboration with the UofR, offers four master's degree programs to assist you in achieving your educational objectives.
