About Haida Gwaii Semesters
These semesters are intensive, 13 week programs designed for senior level undergraduate students from a wide range of
universities and disciplines. Each semester provides a full course load, including four courses that run in successive blocks
over three weeks, and a fifth weekly seminar that runs throughout the entire program. In addition to in-class lectures and
course work, students will also explore the incredible natural environments of Haida Gwaii, meet with local experts and
knowledge holders, and become immersed in the Haida Gwaii community.
