How to Stack

Achieve your educational goals step-by-step. You define the steps!

Did you know you can earn a certificate, diploma and degree with the same courses? Not sure if you're ready for a 4-year degree program?

Test the waters. Take as few as five courses and be rewarded with a University of Regina certificate. Stop there or keep going. 

Almost any of the 40+ certificates can start your stack! Add on courses to build and stack with the next certificate or diploma, and finally, a degree. You decide which credential is right for you.

Talk to your advisor about the many stacking options and how you can customize your path to success!

Earn a Liberal Arts Certificate in as little as one year or keep stacking towards a degree in one of five Faculties! Add a certificate to your resume and stop there or keep stacking with the diploma. Complete your stack by taking the remaining courses needed for a degree in: Arts; Business Administration; Media, Art & Performance; Science; or Social Work.

The sky's the limit!

Certificates in Administration 1 & 2

Improve your career options with the 5-course Level 1 Certificate part-time or take it concurrently with another program. 

With a certificate on your resume and confidence gained, build on your success with the Level 2 Certificate. Stop there or keep stacking with the Diploma in Business Administration and finally, a Bachelor of Business Administration.

Customize your stack - earning one, two, three or four U of R credentials!

With working a corporate job and having a family, flexibility is key. Classes are available online and in the evening to make achieving these academic dreams possible while still working. I never thought I would go back to school after 40 but I did and I am loving it!
