Program details
Overview
The Collaborative Nurse Practitioner Program (CNPP) leads to a Master of Nursing – Nurse Practitioner degree, delivered jointly by Saskatchewan Polytechnic and the University of Regina. Courses are offered online in an asynchronous format, allowing students to remain in their home community while completing the degree, and the program can be finished in as little as two years. It holds seven-year program approval from the College of Registered Nurses of Saskatchewan and seven-year accreditation from the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing. The curriculum prepares graduates to write the Canadian Nurse Practitioner Examination and pursue registration as a nurse practitioner (RN(NP)) in Saskatchewan, qualifying them to provide care in settings such as primary care clinics, nursing stations, long-term care facilities, and interprofessional health care teams, where nurse practitioners can perform assessments, diagnose conditions, order tests, and prescribe medications. The program is designed for registered nurses who want to move into an advanced practice role with expanded clinical scope. It suits nurses working in rural, remote, or underserved communities who need to continue working while studying, given the fully online delivery. The program has been noted for a strong graduate pass rate on the Canadian Nurse Practitioner Examination.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: The Collaborative Nurse Practitioner Program (CNPP), an online graduate program delivered with the University of Regina, states that applicants must satisfy the admission requirements listed on the university's Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research (FGSR) website and must demonstrate an appropriate level of English proficiency as required by the university, without restating the figures itself. The general FGSR Master's standard therefore applies: a four-year bachelor's degree (or recognized equivalent, expected to be a BSN for this clinical program) with a graduating average of at least 70%. International applicants must show English proficiency of CAEL 70, IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, PTE Academic 59, or Duolingo English Test 125 overall.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants to the University of Regina apply for Fall 2027 entry with a recommended early deadline of 15 March 2027 for best course selection and a final new-applicant deadline of 15 August 2027; Winter 2027-28 entry has an early deadline of 1 November 2026 and a final deadline of 15 December 2026, and Spring/Summer 2027 entry closes 15 April 2027. International (study-permit) applicants share the same final deadlines as domestic students for each term but have no separate early deadline. Numerous named programs, including Nursing, Social Work, Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work, Indigenous Fine Arts and Indigenous Education, carry their own earlier deadlines instead of the general dates. Admission is not described as rolling; late non-competitive applications are simply carried to the next term the program accepts. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
