Program details

Overview

This Honours Bachelor of Science in Nursing program combines nursing theory with clinical practice, covering professional nursing, the Canadian healthcare system, health assessment, pharmacology, and care across the lifespan, including maternal-newborn, mental health, community health, gerontology, and palliative care. Clinical practicum coursework begins in the first year and continues through progressively more independent placements in hospital and community settings, supported by the university's on-campus experiential learning labs where students apply theory through simulated activities. The program partners with hospitals and community agencies across southwestern Ontario for clinical placements. Instruction combines classroom lectures, laboratory sessions, and clinical practicum over four years at the University of Windsor. The program suits students seeking a career in professional nursing practice and prepares graduates for roles across acute care, critical care, mental health, pediatrics, public health, oncology, and other nursing specialties, as well as further study toward advanced practice roles such as nurse practitioner.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Ontario high-school applicants need Grade 12U English, Biology, Chemistry, and any required Grade 12 mathematics. The minimum admission average is 70% across the top six Grade 12 U or M courses, with a minimum grade of 65% in Grade 12U English and 70% in each of Grade 12U Chemistry and Biology; the programme notes admission is competitive and recommends an 85% top-six average with at least 80% in Biology and Chemistry, and reports a recent entering mean average of 91%. The programme page defers language proficiency to the university's general policy rather than stating its own scores: per the University of Windsor's undergraduate admission requirements, applicants need IELTS Academic 6.5, TOEFL iBT 83 (writing 20), Duolingo 115, CAEL 60, PTE Academic 60, or the university's ELIP Level III at 75% or above. No portfolio, interview, immunisation, or criminal-record-check details are published on either page.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants (Ontario high school via OUAC 101, other-Canadian-province and US applicants via OUAC 105) apply directly through OUAC; the University of Windsor publishes no fixed institutional application deadline for these routes on its registrar or recruitment pages. International undergraduate applicants are given recommended deadlines of May 1, 2027 for September 2027 (Fall) entry, September 1, 2026 for January 2027 (Winter) entry, and January 1, 2027 for May 2027 (Spring) entry, but Windsor states it will admit qualified applicants after these dates if space remains in the program, so admission is effectively rolling for both domestic and international routes. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
