Yorkville University began with a simple idea: offer flexible, rigorous and career focused programs on campus and online to people who are on a purposeful path.
Since 2004, Yorkville University has successfully grown to encompass three campuses from coast to coast and conferred programs on thousands of graduates.
Yorkville University’s proud graduates have gone on to launch, advance or change their careers. Yorkville University’s programs are designed to equip graduates with the professional knowledge, skills and designations that employers value.
Flexible programs can be taken on campus or online, or a combination of both.
Funding Options
Canadian students loans and grant programs are usually offered at the provincial level, such as the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP). Eligibility will depend on factors such as family income, dependents and whether you have a disability. While student loans have to be repaid with interest after graduation, grants don’t.
Beyond offering educational funding based on merit, some schools and organizations provide scholarship opportunities to assist those who identify as women, under represented minorities (URM) and members of the military such as the Canadian Armed Forces. Scholarships may cover full or partial costs of a particular course or bootcamp.
Tuition and other expenses can be more manageable by paying in monthly installments, though some come with restrictions or high eligibility criteria. Ask about whether you can pay by check or direct deposit, if you’re expected to pay in full by end of term and, of course, interest rates.
Schools may help students find full-time salaried positions, apprenticeships, internships or unpaid positions, and offer a tuition refund if they can’t within a set timeframe (usually within six months of graduation). Make sure to clarify terms and conditions around what you have to do, such as sending out applications or taking interviews, before committing.
An agreement that allows tuition to be paid through a portion of a graduate’s future income. Though ISAs usually don’t require a down payment, confirm what you’ll need to pay back each month and over what time period. ISAs may increase the cost of education over the long term versus paying upfront.

Like any other university, YU has some excellent faculty and some not so excellent faculty. My experience was good and I've bee building a successful career in interior design since I graduated. I owe some of that to the lessons, skills and connections I made. The hardest part was motivating myself through an online degree, but that's not YU's fault. My only real complaint is the tuition, which isn't cheap. In my subjective experience, it was worth it, especially for the flexibility of the online degree.
