Yukon University, formerly known as Yukon College, is a public university located in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. The main campus is situated 4 kilometers north of downtown Whitehorse on a plateau with a sprawling property of 97 hectares. The university offers bachelor's degrees, diplomas, certificates, trades and vocational training, and adult basic education. With 12 campuses spread throughout the territory, it is the only university based in northern Canada. The institution has a rich history, tracing its roots back to the Whitehorse Vocational and Technical Training Centre in 1963 and later reorganized into a college in 1988. It made its transformation into a post-secondary university in February 2020, following the passage of the Yukon University Act. The university's research center, now known as YukonU Research Centre, focuses on mine reclamation, cold climate construction, and climate change. The campus offers a wide range of facilities, housing options, and student services to support its diverse student body across various communities.
