The New Brunswick government is spending more than $1 million to encourage more aboriginals to pursue post-secondary education.
The money will be used to hire recruiters and aboriginal co-ordinators at the province's universities and community colleges.
The University of New Brunswick will offer a bachelor's degree in First Nations governance and management the first undergraduate degree of its kind in Canada.
Post-secondary education minister, Donald Arsenault says the programs will ensure more New Brunswickers have an opportunity to obtain a post-secondary education.
