Stacking Options
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, 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!
Liberal Arts Certificate and Diploma
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!
