Overview
Choose from various courses to explore your interests and strengths, helping you make informed choices about your program and career while earning post-secondary credits.
General studies
The Open Studies program allows you to explore your path with general studies and sample different courses to figure out which field of study or university/college education is right for you.
Maybe the program you want to join isn’t available until a later semester. With Open Studies, you can get a head start by taking some courses in advance. This option is especially useful for programs that lead to diplomas, certificates, or degrees.
Flexible class times
Some students prefer a slower pace. Open Studies allows you to ease into a full program by taking a few courses each semester. The program enables those who are working and studying the time to manage their workload.
You can take Open Studies courses in two ways:
- online asynchronous which is flexible and can be done anytime that suits you
- online synchronous or in-person, which is scheduled class times.
Please note that daytime class options are not available to Open Studies students.
Benefits for international students
If you’re an international student already in a program but want to switch to a different one, Open Studies can help. It helps you maintain the required number of credits to study in Canada, even if the courses aren’t directly related to your future career.
Prepare for postsecondary
Whether you are working towards an undergraduate degree in business studies or another area of study, the Open Studies program can help you get there.
While you won’t receive a specific credential in Open Studies, the program allows you to:
- build a solid foundation for further education at SAIT with transfer credits for transferable courses
- earn credit for up to 30 credits or 50% of a program’s courses if you pursue a certificate, diploma, applied degree, or bachelor’s degree program at SAIT
- take advantage of free SAIT student services, such as tutoring, learning strategy workshops, appointments with a learning strategist, and counselling.
Courses
Most Open Studies courses are delivered in online asynchronous (unscheduled, self-directed classes) format.
We also deliver select courses in online synchronous (scheduled) or evening classrooms (scheduled, on-campus). You will see available options once you are registered as an Open Studies student.
To register for the following courses, you must be admitted into either the Open Studies program or another academic program at SAIT.
