Higher education in Yukon : ウィキペディア英語版 | Higher education in Yukon
Higher education in Yukon is shaped by the territory's small population (30,375 people as of May 2006)〔(BC Stats. (2007). "2006 Census Profile:Yukon Territory" Retrieved July 15, 2008 )〕 in a relatively large geographic area. The history of higher education went hand in hand with the establishment of a representative territorial government in 1979.〔Senkpiel, Aron. (1997). Postsecondary Education in Yukon. In "Higher Education in Canada" (pp. 285 - 300). Ed. Jones, G.A., New York, N.Y.: Garland Publishing〕 Yukon School of Visual Arts and Yukon College are the only two higher education institutions in Yukon. Yukon College issues certificate, diploma, and partial and some full degree programs. The college is a community college and as a result it provides in addition to its academic and professional program, Adult Basic Education/literacy programs.〔( Yukon College. (n.d.). "Our Programs" Retrieved July 15, 2008 )〕 ==History== Although the Yukon College wasn't formally established until 1988 by the College Act, 1988,〔("COLLEGE ACT", O.I.C. 1988/166 Retrieved on July 17, 2008 )〕 its predecessor, the Whitehorse Vocational Training Centre, opened in 1963 with a focus on teaching skills that enabled adults to gain employment. In 1977 there were arrangements with the University of British Columbia to offer university-level programs and courses; however, public demand for more local post-secondary services increased.〔(Yukon College. (n.d.). "History of Yukon College" Retrieved July 15, 2008 )〕 The birth of Yukon College at the beginning of the 1980s was due to the territorial government’s dissatisfaction with the inadequate programming offered by the only training institute of the region, and the dissatisfaction of its electorate with the occasional extension courses offered through other universities.〔 The research policies and initiatives of the college have also established a foundation of academic training. In 2007, the Yukon School of Visual Arts was established providing the foundational year towards a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) or a Bachelor of Design (BDes). The school is a partnership between Dawson City Arts Society, Yukon College and the Tr’ondek Hwech’in. Governance comes from all three partners equally and funding comes for the Yukon Territorial Government. Accreditation comes from Yukon College and articulation agreements are in place with ECIAD, ACAD, OCAD, and NSCAD.
