This thesis-based master's program in nursing science trains registered nurses for advanced clinical practice, education, management, and research roles in the healthcare system. The 45-credit program, offered jointly across the Universite du Quebec network (UQAR, UQTR, UQAC, UQAT, UQO), combines 21 credits of coursework with a 24-credit research thesis. Students complete foundational study in nursing science, research methods, and statistics before pursuing an independent research project under faculty supervision; a thesis director must be secured by the end of the second trimester for full-time students or the third for part-time students. Courses are delivered mostly through Zoom, with some examinations requiring attendance on the Rimouski or Levis campus. The program leads to a Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree and can be completed full-time or part-time. It is non-contingented, admitting all qualified applicants, with intake in the autumn and winter trimesters.
