This program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Honours) through a second-entry route completed in six consecutive terms (two years), with theory courses delivered in hybrid format alongside in-person lab, simulation and practicum experience. The curriculum is concept-based, competency-driven and technology-focused, following a Strengths-Based program philosophy, and prepares graduates to meet current and future Registered Nursing practice requirements. Students entering with at least 60 university credit hours and defined prerequisites complete an additional 90 credit hours over the program. Transfer credit is not awarded for prior nursing coursework, and applicants who have already completed a nursing diploma or PN program are not considered due to curriculum requirements. Throughout the program, students have the opportunity to earn microcredentials in specialized nursing knowledge and skills. It suits students who already hold university-level prerequisite coursework and are aiming at a Registered Nurse career through an accelerated, post-degree entry route.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:3.00 / 4.0
Admission Requirements: Applicants must have successfully completed at least 60 credit hours at a recognized university, with an overall average of 3.0 (B) or better on a 4-point scale (or equivalent), and 3.3 (B+) or better on a 4-point scale in the last year of study or last 30 credit hours. The 60 credit hours must include 6.0 credit hours in Psychology (Statistics and Research Methods courses do not fulfill this requirement), 6.0 credit hours in Human Anatomy and Physiology (or 3.0 credit hours each in Human Anatomy and Human Physiology), 3.0 credit hours in Statistics, and 3.0 credit hours in Microbiology; each prerequisite must be completed with a grade of B or better, within 10 years of the year of admission. For applicants applying with only 60 credit hours, no more than 30 may be at the introductory level (courses numbered 1000-1999). Applicants with university preparation from outside North America must submit a course-by-course evaluation through World Education Services (WES). Meeting the minimum requirements does not ensure admission.
