Program details
Overview
This program leads to a Master of Science in Nursing (M. Sc. Inf.), a thesis-based graduate degree offered at the Moncton campus that can be completed in two years of full-time study or four years part-time. Of the 33 total credits, 15 are devoted to thesis research, alongside mandatory courses in the development of nursing knowledge, leadership in health, advanced nursing practice, and quantitative and qualitative research methods in nursing. Students also complete one elective drawn from options such as health teaching, Indigenous peoples and health, health and aging, directed readings, or primary healthcare. The program is designed to prepare nurses for advanced practice by building research capability and leadership skills within the profession, combining coursework with an original thesis project. It suits registered nurses holding a bachelor's degree in nursing who want to move into advanced practice, research, or leadership roles in health care, and who are prepared to complete an independent research-based thesis as part of their studies.
