Yukon University is Canada’s first university North of 60°.  YukonU offers high-quality education that opens doors to a fulfilling future by offering trades training, certificates, diplomas and degrees, pathways to education, and continuing education and training.

Together we thrive. We provide a place for every person, every path, and every bit of potential. We develop strong leaders and expertise to manage natural resources, collaborate with First Nation communities, and operate in northern environments. Our programs and research create social and economic prosperity for northerners—and for all Canadians.

Yukon University’s mission is to provide inclusive, quality education experiences that equip learners to seize opportunities, make change and positively impact local and global communities. Our vision is to become a thriving learning and research community leading Canada’s North.

Situated on the Traditional Territories of Yukon First Nations in 12 communities, Yukon University is guided by the indomitable spirit of the Yukon wilderness and millennia of resilience and resourcefulness. We are guided by our values of integrity, quality, relationships and a just society in all that we do.

We have been responding to and leading change in the Yukon for six decades. In 2020, we became Yukon University—a progressive post-secondary institution that supports learners, organizations and communities on their paths of transformation.
