Like the river with which it shares a name and a surging spirit, Athabasca University, Canada’s Open University erodes obstacles. It dismantles the barrier between you and your ambition — your best future.

At Athabasca University, you do live in the right place. You are the right age. Your family makes you a better, prouder student. Please, study on your time. The only commute is to your device.

Some of Canada’s finest professors choose Athabasca University for the same reason you study with us. They ensure your classes and degrees are rigorous and challenging and you can connect with them over the dinner table — yours and theirs.

Athabasca is for the leader who wants to build their community without leaving it. It is for the learner who could study on any campus or maybe already does but craves flexibility and control of their time.

It is for learners who were not ready for university when they were teenagers but are ready now.

It is for nurses and accountants and entrepreneurs and teachers and designers who want to go to graduate school but wouldn’t dream of leaving their jobs. It is for you.

Canada’s Open University unleashes your full potential in the places where you can make the most impact: with your families, your workplaces, at home in your villages, towns, and cities.
