Vision
A Canadian national university dedicated to providing accessible
professional degree, diploma and certificate programs leading to professional
careers.
Mission
To provide access to rigorous and flexible
professional programs in curricular areas that are personally rewarding for
students and that contribute to the betterment of society.
Access
includes but it is not limited to providing academic programs to people who, for
reasons of geographic remoteness, health and disability conditions, and family,
work or community obligations, would otherwise not be able to avail themselves
of the benefits that flow from higher education.
Rigorous means providing
challenging academic content delivered by faculty members who are professionally
engaged and current in their field of knowledge, possess the appropriate
credentials available in their fields, and are committed to excellence in
teaching.
Flexible means providing academic programs that allow
individual students to participate in ways consistent with their preferred
learning style and their professional and personal schedules.
These
characteristics are enabled through appropriately credentialed faculty members
dedicated to excellence in teaching practice and in the development and
application of knowledge, and through providing innovative programs using
existing and newly emerging communications technologies and proven
pedagogies.
Yorkville University was established in Fredericton, New
Brunswick, in November, 2003. |
