Program details
Overview
The Master of Nursing (Course-based) at the University of Regina combines four core nursing courses with six elective courses, and can be completed in two to six years depending on a student's pace, with enrolment available in the fall, winter, or spring terms. Courses are delivered fully online through synchronous and asynchronous web-based learning, supporting students in rural, remote, northern, and urban settings, and the program can be completed on a full-time or part-time basis. It is open to registered nurses, registered psychiatric nurses, and licensed practical nurses who hold any baccalaureate degree; international students should note that this program does not lead to a study permit or a post-graduation work permit. The curriculum focuses on developing nursing leadership, covering healthcare quality, financial and operational management, innovation, and working with vulnerable populations. It suits practising nurses who want to build leadership skills for administrative, educational, or policy-related roles without undertaking a thesis. Graduates go on to positions such as nurse manager or director, clinical nurse educator, faculty member, program coordinator, and healthcare policy advisor, applying the program's course-based training in leadership and organizational management within clinical and academic nursing settings.

Start Date:September, January and May
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.
