The Master of Science in Nursing Program (Thesis or Project) leads to an advanced nursing practice degree that focuses on preparing graduates across a range of areas and specialties to act as autonomous practitioners. In addition, this program aims to prepare graduates as inter-professional collaborators, nurse researchers, leaders, educators, change agents, and role models. Graduates of this program work in a variety of health care settings as clinical nurse specialists, educators, administrators, and researchers, and work with diverse populations across all age groups. Note that these instructions are for students intending to complete a Master of Science in Nursing with a thesis or a project. The MScN Nurse Practitioner (NP) has different requirements and a separate application. If you already hold a MScN credential and are intending to complete coursework to augment your education, you should apply as a MScN NP applicant. Applicants must have access to a computer with high speed internet and must be willing and able to travel to UNBC’s Prince George Campus or Regional Centers for face-to-face instruction. However, you will find the program's application by selecting the "online" campus on our online application. |
