BA/BS in Bilingual Nursing

The Bilingual Bachelor of Science in Nursing allows students to complete their nursing degree in both French and English, requiring genuine bilingual fluency to study in the program. It is delivered in collaboration with Campus Saint-Jean, the university's French-language campus in Edmonton, and leads to the same BScN (Collaborative) credential described on the general nursing program page. As with the BScN generally, the degree is a pathway to becoming a Registered Nurse in Canada, and the program page notes that graduates of the bilingual track have access to a wider range of career options across Canada and internationally as a result of their bilingual qualification. The program is delivered through the Faculty of Nursing, described on the page as among the top nursing schools in Canada, with clinical placements and instruction based at the Edmonton Clinic Health Academy, adjacent to the University of Alberta Hospital. The program suits bilingual (French and English) students who want a nursing credential that combines clinical training with French-language academic instruction through Campus Saint-Jean.
