Program details

Overview

Trinity Western University's Master of Science in Nursing is a graduate program for practising nurses who want to move into advanced leadership roles while continuing to work. It asks students to think critically about the values that have shaped nursing knowledge, with course work centred on evaluating evidence for best practice and building advanced leadership skills and scholarly capability. The program is offered either as a blended mix of online and in-class study at the Langley and Ottawa locations, or fully online, and takes two and a half to three years to complete part-time; no relocation is required. A specialized Indigenous Graduate Education Nursing stream is available for Indigenous nurses practising in British Columbia. Students join a community of nurse scholars, complete a health-policy residency in Ottawa, and work with faculty to select courses aligned with their career goals. The program suits practising nurses aiming for leadership, policy, or advanced-practice roles who need a schedule built around existing work and family commitments rather than full-time, on-campus study.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 3.00 / 4.0
Admission Requirements: Applicants need a baccalaureate degree in Nursing, Psychiatric Nursing, or another discipline plus a Nursing Diploma, with a GPA of 3.0 (B) in the final two years of the undergraduate program (GPA waivers are possible in exceptional circumstances, e.g. a mature student with additional experience or education). Statistical knowledge at the level of a basic undergraduate statistics course is required; applicants lacking it must complete an undergraduate introductory statistics course as a prerequisite for NURS 540. Applicants must also hold practicing registration with a provincial or state nursing regulatory body. Those whose first language is not English must present IELTS Academic 7.5 on every band, Duolingo English Test 140 or higher, or TOEFL iBT 5.5 or higher (105+ for exams taken before January 21, 2026). The application package includes official transcripts, two reference letters (one professional, one academic), English test scores where applicable, and a personal statement describing the applicant's reasons for applying to the program.
