Continuing Education

What is "continuing education" at York?

Continuing education courses, programs or organized learning experiences are usually taken after a degree is obtained to enhance personal or professional goals. York offers only non-degree continuing education courses. In other words, continuing education courses will not count toward a York University degree.

Continuing education:

• allows you to pursue areas of professional or personal interest or to enhance your professional qualifications in an increasingly competitive and rapidly changing labour market.
• offers a broad spectrum of courses - many of which are focussed on areas of industry not traditionally served by the academic community.
• provides courses to help improve your chances for admission to degree studies at York University (see Atkinson's Division of Continuing Education below).

You don't apply for any Continuing Education courses through the Office of Admissions. Details about applying are specific to each Faculty offering the courses. See the list below for more specific information about what's offered and how to apply.
