North Island College was founded in 1975 as a primary distance education institution. The College that began out of a portable trailer in Campbell River and a few transformed school buses now has an international status for integrating Aboriginal viewpoints into nursing schools' syllabus across Canada. Over the past 40 years, more than 155,000 people have taken a course or completed a NIC program. From university studies to apprenticeship training, upgrading courses to degree programs, NIC recommends a wide variety of programs and methods to help students reach their objectives. Students will study in the picturesque Comox Valley, where an adventure and quality education awaits them.
