Athabasca University

Athabasca University (AU) is Canada’s leading online and distance-education university currently serving more than 37,000 students from 87 countries worldwide.  It is a publicly funded institution offering over 700 courses and 90 different programs at the undergraduate and graduate level.  Although it has an administrative base in northern Alberta in the beautiful town of Athabasca, your actual online campus is anywhere in the world you want it to be.

As an open university, AU is structured to fit the specific needs of your lifestyle.  With continuous enrolment and monthly start dates, you can begin your post-secondary studies whenever you want.  AU flexibility also means you can experience all the advantages of a traditional university in a non-traditional setting like your home, office, cabin or wherever you may find yourself.

AU doesn't close the doors on your educational pursuits.  We make sure they're wide open.  That's because our philosophy is to remove geographical, financial, social and cultural barriers that limit post-secondary access.  In fact, we guarantee access to university-level study to anyone 16 years of age or over with a passion to learn.

So why not be the next person to pursue your educationals dreams at AU?  Your spot has been reserved!
