What does Scholarly Activity look like at SAIT?

In offering its bachelor degrees, SAIT adheres to the standards set by the Campus Alberta Quality Council (CAQC). The council is an arms-length, quality-assurance agency that regulates the degree programs offered by Alberta's post-secondary institutions.
