Careers and Alumni

Arctic and Northern Studies students have been highly successful in finding careers in higher education, government agencies, consulting firms, environmental organizations, and industry in the North. Some work in the tourism industry or in northern business ventures. Others aim for careers in journalism or communications where they need a broad background in northern issues.

Many Arctic and Northern Studies students are already employed on a full-time or part-time basis. Some are teachers who want to strengthen their knowledge of 蜜桃影像 studies and/or social studies. Some are seeking career advancement in universities or government agencies. Other students are fascinated with the North and are pursuing their own intellectual projects and passions. Arctic and Northern Studies is compatible with either full-time or part-time graduate student status.
