Program details

Overview

Thompson Rivers University's Master of Nursing is an online, synchronous graduate program that most students complete in two to three years, though the university allows up to five years to finish, letting nurses continue working while they study. The program offers a choice between a thesis and a capstone-project completion path, built around a student-centred curriculum in leadership, advanced nursing practice, and nurse education, supported by PhD faculty whose research spans community health, leadership, health policy, and Indigenous health. TRU frames the degree as an 'earn while you learn' option, pairing flexible online delivery with advanced internship and practical learning experiences and specialization choices in education or in management and leadership, aimed at preparing graduates for complex healthcare systems in BC, across Canada, and abroad. Graduates go on to roles in advanced clinical practice, academia, hospital and community administration, and government health ministries.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 73.00 / %
Admission Requirements: POST-BACCALAUREATE ENTRY: a completed bachelor's degree from an accredited institution with a GPA of 3.00 (B), equivalent to 73%, in the final two years or 60 credits of the program; candidates normally hold a completed baccalaureate degree in nursing or equivalent. You must also show successful completion of an undergraduate introductory statistics course at C+ minimum, or have the Dean's approval, and ENGL 1100 Composition at C+ minimum or equivalent, or the Dean's approval. REGISTRATION AND STATUS: verification from the regulatory body of the jurisdiction where you live that you are registered there as an active practising nurse, and Canadian citizenship, permanent resident status, or a valid Canadian study permit naming TRU as your place of study — so an international applicant needs a study permit that names TRU. DOCUMENTS: two references, preferably one academic and one professional, requested through a link after you apply, and official copies of all post-secondary transcripts. ENGLISH, for applicants who studied in a country where English is not the official language: IELTS with an overall 7.0 and sub-scores of Speaking 7.0, Writing 7.0, Listening 7.5 and Reading 6.5; or TOEFL iBT 100 with no section below 20; or paper-based TOEFL 600 with a TWE of 5.0.
