About

Yorkville University is a Canadian private university founded in 2004, with campuses in Vancouver, Toronto, and Fredericton. It offers accredited undergraduate and graduate programs across business, arts, interior design, education, and counselling psychology, including an MBA. Programs are available on campus and online, with accelerated formats and year-round start dates designed to accommodate working adults and students with prior credentials.

The university has served over 25,000 students and alumni from more than 100 countries. Its operational model emphasises flexibility: online delivery extends access beyond its three campus cities, while a credit transfer policy and small class sizes are among the features directed at non-traditional and returning students.

  • Business and MBA – undergraduate and graduate business programs, including an MBA
  • Counselling Psychology – undergraduate and graduate-level programs
  • Education – undergraduate and graduate offerings
  • Arts and Interior Design – undergraduate programs
