Program details

Overview

This 45-credit master's program, clinical profile, trains registered nurses for advanced clinical practice in healthcare settings, leading to a Maîtrise ès sciences. The curriculum is structured across six terms and combines advanced nursing theory with supervised clinical practice, without a thesis component or a specialized nurse-practitioner scope of medical practice. It is designed to deepen clinical expertise and leadership for nurses already working in the field, rather than to prepare researchers or nurse practitioners, and requires an active nursing licence for admission. The program is offered on a full-time or part-time basis at UQO's Gatineau and Saint-Jérôme campuses, with admission in the fall, winter, and summer terms. Admission also requires a bachelor's degree in nursing with a strong cumulative average and a sufficient working knowledge of English.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 3.20 / 4.3
Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree in nursing obtained with a cumulative average of at least 3.2 out of 4.3, or the equivalent, including a minimum grade of B in certain prerequisite courses. Candidates must be registered nurses holding an active practising licence from the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec (OIIQ). A sufficient working knowledge of English is required, and applicants must meet UQO's French-language policy, generally demonstrated by a Test de français international (TFI) score of at least 750 out of 990.
