Delivered entirely online, the Nurse Educator MN prepares registered nurses to teach in clinical and academic settings, combining coursework with a practicum and finishing in either a capstone project or a research thesis. It runs two years full-time or three to four years part-time, giving working nurses flexibility to keep practising while they study. Applicants need a four-year nursing degree with a minimum B+ (77%) average in the final two years, an upper-level statistics course completed with a B or higher, and an Indigenous cultural safety course taken within the past five years, plus active RN registration; UVic also strongly recommends the equivalent of two years of recent full-time RN practice before applying. Applications require a résumé, two assessment reports from academic and employment referees, and a personal statement of up to 500 words, with an optional writing sample. For September entry, applications are due January 31 and supporting documents by February 28. The practicum component grounds the degree in real teaching experience rather than theory alone, and supervisor matching happens after admission rather than before; students completing practicum hours outside their home jurisdiction must hold active registration there at their own cost.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:77.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Applicants need a four-year bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in nursing from a UVic-recognized institution, completed with a minimum B+ (77%) average over the final two years, plus an upper-level (300- or 400-level) undergraduate statistics course passed at B or higher and an Indigenous cultural-safety course for health providers completed within five years of applying. Applicants must hold active practicing registration as a Registered Nurse, and the program strongly recommends, without strictly requiring, the equivalent of at least two years of full-time recent RN practice. Applicants whose first language is not English must provide proof of proficiency, with detailed score thresholds set out on UVic's general admission pages rather than on this program page. A complete application adds a resume, one academic and one employment assessment report, a personal statement of up to 500 words in narrative form, and an optional professional or academic writing sample. The program admits for September entry: apply by January 31, with supporting documents due by February 28.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC, which opens for 2027-entry applications on 1 October 2026: most degree programmes see September 2027 entry close 31 January 2027, January 2027 entry close 30 September 2026, and Summer 2027 entry close 31 March 2027, though Teacher Education post-degree programmes close 2 January 2027, Indigenous Education post-degree admits on an ongoing basis, and Engineering's Summer entry (high-school graduates only) closes 31 December 2026. International applicants use the same portal and face identical dates, since UVic publishes no separate international deadline. UVic treats these as fixed annual dates rather than rolling admission, though it warns any programme can close early without notice. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
