Yorkville University is a private, non-denominational university established in 2003 under the New Brunswick Degree Granting Act.[1] The university accepted its first students in the fall of 2004 for the programs offered out of Fredericton, New Brunswick, which was at the time the only establishment under Yorkville University. The university has since launched brick-and-mortar campuses in Toronto, Ontario and Vancouver, British Columbia.[2] The three locations combined offer undergraduate and graduate programs. In 2018 it was named one of the best online universities in Canada.[3]
