Explore changing perspectives.
When the world is changing, it can bring opportunities
for a shift in perspective. It can inspire us to try new
things, challenge our pre-existing beliefs, or awaken a
desire to better understand the world around us.
At Continuing Studies at the University of Victoria, we
offer an ever-evolving selection of courses and programs
each term; and our online delivery styles make it easy
to explore a world of changing perspectives, from the
comfort of home.
