Best University in Canada

J	Jon Ayre on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you are looking for a University that allows you to work at your own pace, with little direction. I would recommend Yorkville. However, I would exercise some caution. 1. I had some great teachers, in fact there were a hand full of teachers that true changed my world view. However, there are some teachers I felt did not prioritize grades. For example, in an accounting class I took, I received all my marks on 5 assignments the day before the mid term. 2. It is extremely expensive for online and is equal to attending a physical school. 3. Technology is dated and video recordings are often from other teachers and recycled from class to class. 4. I would say 60% of the students are simply looking to pass with as little effort as possible. That may be ok for them; however, for me I want to challenge myself and when you are in group projects and discussion with people that want to do the minimum to no work - it can be difficult. Overall, again - if you are a self starter and can work at your own speed, this may be the university for you. However, in the end I switched schools to another Canadian company who charges 50% less, host weekly lectures, drives dynamic discussions, has teachers highly engaged in student success, and better technology for the student experience.
C	Cynthia Farnsworth on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My experience at Yorkville several years ago was overall quite positive, and it prepared me to meet the rigorous challenges of my busy private practice. Is it perfect? No - but no program is. It is not ideal for everyone - folks who have trouble with online learning, being self-directed, or taking on responsibility for your education at a Master's level, or those who have little pre-existing experience in the field, might find it challenging. It is a fairly intensive experience. But the flexibility of the online learning was a great benefit for me.
J	Jenny Kroeger on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lots of hoops to jump through. Assignments that waste your time. No real learning. The university clearly doesn't care about its students.
S	Scott Jankovic on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I just emailed them once and was absolutely hounded with emails asking if I'm still interested and telling me to enroll, at a time when I was unable to respond due to not having access to my email. After seeing all the emails and also almost 100 phone calls from them, I looked them up. No wonder they harassed me so much, they needed another new person to drain money from
B	Big Mike on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Profs are amazing. But unfortunately they are still not enough to make up for the ridiculous and borderline criminal behaviours of every other department in the university. If you want to get a hold of the finance department, after they’ve emailed you. It’s going to be a minimum 3 weeks before someone responses. Every time. So figuring anything out takes at least 9 - 12 weeks. Just stay as far away as you possibly can. It is not worth it.
J	Joyce Le on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Do not apply here for the MACP program. They deleted my review but I had a horrible experience. No actual learning. There are no lectures. You are required to post discussion post religiously with no virtual zoom calls or interactions with the professor. I did well in the first course but dropped out because the quality of education was clearly lacking. $3000 for taking one course that made me write discussion post and do readings and write essays? That's it? No thank you. Laughable compared to the quality of education University of Alberta provides.
D	Desma Jude Dunsdon on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Money scam!!! I left half way through the course because I was told if I wasn’t enjoying it I could drop out and not have to pay 2 months and only pay the one month. One of the main reasons I left was because I can’t afford it. I’m a eighteen year old living on my own working a minimum wage job. I wasn’t attending class and when I spoke to the receptionist and told her my situation WHILE THE SECOND MONTH HADN’T STARTED. She help me withdraw so I wouldn’t have to pay for next month. It’s been 3 months since I left with no issue. I AM NOW BEING HOUNDED FOR MONEY FOR A CLASS I WASN'T ATTENDING!!! Instead of letting me explain she sat there and told me it wasn’t her problem and to take out a long or ask my family for money. When I saw the reviews as I was applying I gave them the benefit of the doubt, boy was I wrong. IF YOUR THINKING ABOUT SCHOOLING THERE BE PREPARED TO BE SCAMED HUNDREDS.
S	Stringfellow Hawk on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was on the MCAP program and passed successfully. Yorkville University is a for profit organization. They are there to make money. The course is a means to an end and the on line aspect is flexible. The profs are hit and miss. Some are very invested and helpful, others not at all. Its totally luck of the draw as to who you get. The service from the University is appalling. The "ticket system" for issues is slow and often times by the time someone gets back to you it is too late. They also charge an additional $125 at the end of the program if you actually want a copy of your degree and transcript.
