These include arts and heritage; business, environmental and natural resource sciences; general arts and sciences; health and wellness; justice and community development, skilled trades and technology and continuing education.

It is also known for its courses in environmental and natural resources sciences and unique programmes in business, museum management and cultural heritage and social services.
