Were excited for the 2015-16 academic year she said. Everything is underway and theres a lot going on. High-gear school year Aurora reachin THEBACHA CAMPUS The two-year business administration program at Aurora - formerly called man- agement studies - is currently in flux. The college is busy rolling out a new adaptation of the program which uses videoconfer- encing technology to connect students and teachers in Fort Smith and Yellowknife. Its been under review and develop- ment for the past two years Arychuk noted. Its very healthy at both campuses. This year were offering the first year of the new program and were also offering the second year the final delivery of the old program. Eventually the idea is to run this program in a multitude of communities eliminating the need for students in remote areas to leave their homes. NORTH SLAVE CAMPUS A year after celebrating the 20th anni- versary of teaching nursing in Yellowknife Aurora is revamping one of its most popular programs yet again. This year for the rst time those holding a bachelors degree in science or nursing now have the opportunity to upgrade their aca- demics with a new post-graduate certicate in rural and remote nursing. Students can obtain their masters of nursing in associa- tion with Dalhousie University through a 36-hour credit program. Aurora is also building onto its extensive trades stream this year with a mineral pro- cessing program hosted in partnership with the Mine Training Society. We have a mine simulator in Yellow- knife Arychuk said. We do have right now Aurora College has changed or expanded programs across its three campuses.
