The Yukon First Nations Arts certificate combines Indigenous visual arts training with academic upgrading through Yukon University's University Access Pathway. Six art modules cover contemporary and traditional Indigenous visual arts and crafts, including beadwork, sewing, traditional footwear making, carving, and fine craftwork, delivered in person at the Whitehorse (Ayamdigut) campus. Four University Access Pathway courses in English and math, offered face-to-face and online, run alongside the art modules to build reading, writing, numeracy, and computer skills. The program is open to applicants aged 17 or older who identify as a Canadian or Alaskan Indigenous person, and admission requires a personal statement about interest in Indigenous visual arts plus acceptable scores on English and math placement assessments. Students must maintain a minimum 2.7 cumulative GPA to remain in good standing. The certificate is scheduled to run again in the 2026-2027 academic year after a prior pause in intake.
