    General Studies

    About

    Find your passion! Discover your future! Explore courses from across academic and professional disciplines that include languages, literature, history, philosophy, science, business administration, tourism and more. Learn what moves you and take off from there! General Studies and COVID-19 Yukon University made changes to the way its courses are delivered as a result of COVID-19. Scheduled courses will be offered face-to-face and online this academic year. Some courses may have weekly scheduled video-conferenced sessions, while others may run entirely face to face or a combination. See the course pages and course outlines for details. Fall 2021 at YukonU: We are pleased to welcome our students, faculty, staff and public back to our 13 campuses. Some of our classes have resumed in-person. We continue to work with CMOH to keep our campuses safe and update our COVID response accordingly. For the most up-to-date info, see YukonU.ca/COVID-19. Contact the School of Liberal Arts or a Program Advisor for assistance or for more information about COVID-19-related changes to the General Studies programs.

    The General Studies programs integrate general knowledge and intellectual skills with specific occupational or professional skills. They are designed and intended for those who do not plan on pursuing a university degree or those who wish to develop an individualized program from a variety of programming areas at the University.

    Students who wish to complete a university degree at a later time are encouraged either to limit their choices in the General Studies programs to courses in the School of Liberal Arts and School of Science or to pursue a Liberal Arts certificate or diploma.
