Program details
Overview
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing at MacEwan University is an undergraduate degree preparing students for entry-level registered nursing practice as well as further roles in leadership, education, and research. The curriculum draws on nursing theory together with content from the liberal arts and sciences, building both clinical knowledge and broader analytical skills. Learning takes place across classrooms, clinical placement sites, laboratories, and the university's Clinical Simulation Centre, combining academic instruction with hands-on practice. The program is described as rigorous, reflecting an integrated approach to nursing education. It suits students who want to enter professional nursing practice and who are committed to contributing to the health of individuals, families, and communities, as well as those interested in eventually moving into advanced nursing roles beyond direct patient care. Admission requirements for the program were set to change starting in the Fall 2025 intake, so prospective applicants should confirm current entry criteria directly with the university rather than relying on prior program information. The degree is offered at MacEwan's campus in Edmonton, Alberta.
