Canada is set to get its first northern university

Yukon College is on track to become Yukon University, the first such institution in northern Canada.

Canada is currently the only Arctic nation without a university in its North, but that’s about to change.

Although it doesn’t yet have a northern university in, Canada does boast three colleges in the region, one in each of its northern territories: Yukon College, Aurora College and Nunavut Arctic College. Now, if all goes according to plan, by the spring of 2020, Whitehorse will become the host of the first northern Canadian university when Yukon College completes a transition into a full university.
