University-Level Programs

University Studies



We provide university-level courses that can transfer into degree programs at many post-secondary institutions across Alberta. Study in your home community instead of going to a major centre. University Studies classes are small and the instructors are helpful, caring, and invested in your future. University Studies courses are accessible, affordable, and convenient. 

You can also transfer the university credits to another institution, into programs such as Aboriginal Studies, Arts, Education, General Studies or Social Work.
