Yorkville University aspires to be the most successful and respected private university in Canada. With its vision of transforming lives though higher education, and a history of innovation in professional course offerings, program delivery, and the student experience, YU has grown into the largest private, for-profit education group in the country, serving a population of over 12,000 students – 11,000 enrolled at Yorkville University and 1,700 at the Toronto Film School.
A portfolio company of Birch Hill Equity Partners, Yorkville is dedicated to academic quality, innovation, and access. For domestic and international students – many from underserved markets – YU provides in-person and virtual learning through campus locations in Ontario and British Columbia, as well as online courses registered in New Brunswick. Approved by the education ministry relevant to each campus, Yorkville’s diplomas and undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degrees equip graduates with the professional knowledge, skills, and designations that employers value. YU offers a flexible, accessible delivery model, experiential learning, and small class settings to maximize innovative signature learning outcomes and student success.
As a young institution, Yorkville is aspirational and ready to become a university of choice. The Provost and Chief Academic Officer will be a vital player in building YU’s reputation for academic excellence and student experience. The Provost and CAO will report to a recently appointed and highly regarded President who is playing a ground-breaking role in Canadian higher education, leveraging YU’s flexible, accessible delivery model, experiential learning, and small class settings to maximize innovative signature learning outcomes and student success. These are exciting times – a chance to open doors wide by combining academic rigour, a student-centred environment, market innovations, and responsiveness to industry.
You are a professor with a record of successful academic administrative leadership in the public university system, attracted to the opportunity to develop a private university that combines academic excellence with entrepreneurial insight, flexibility, and true accessibility for students. You are a champion of equity, diversity, inclusion, justice, and reconciliation, and a builder of robust teams and relationships that will strengthen YU’s standing, offerings, and accreditations, creating transformational impact at all levels. Always purposeful, you will use your strategic acumen, pragmatism, and collaborative approach to align effective structures, processes, and culture with YU’s exciting strategic priorities. This is an opportunity to build the university you would like to see: inspire and support life-changing learning in a job like no other in Canada.
