Aurora College has undergone many name changes in the past few years – Thebacha College in 1981 and Arctic College in 1984. Despite its several moniker changes, one thing remains the same: the exceptional education that makes Aurora College one of the best higher learning institutions in Canada.
Located in the Northwest Territories, Aurora College is an arts and technology institution that serves the remote
areas in the district. As such, it has three dispersed satellite campuses in Yellowknife, Fort Smith and Inuvik.
Aurora College offers the following degrees: Education, Nursing, Developmental Studies, Business Administration, Early Childhood Development, Office Administration and Social Work, to name a few.
The college does not only provide bachelor’s degrees, it also offers certificate and diploma programs in the fields of carpentry, plumbing, environmental monitoring, trading and mining, among many others.
While Aurora College’s campus might be located in remote places, it does not stop students from all over the country from enrolling in the school. After all, it offers a wealth of choices for a tuition fee that most people can afford.
