Students applying to nursing next year

If you plan on applying to the bachelor of science in nursing (BScN) (collaborative) in the following year, you must complete the required biology, math, and/or chemistry courses if you have not completed the required high school courses.

In addition, you may complete non-nursing courses which are required in the BScN program, but are not required for admission. These courses include:

• six credit hours in English critical reading and writing (CRW) courses
• three credit hours in either sociology, anthropology or archaeology
• three credit hours in philosophy or Religious Studies 2610
• Biology 3053 (or equivalent)
• Human Biosciences 1430 (formerly Biochemistry 1430 or equivalent)
• Psychology 1000 (or equivalent)
• Statistics 2500 (or Statistics 1510, 2550, Education 2900, Psychology 2910 or 2925) or a statistics course acceptable to the faculty
  • Education 2900 is reserved for education students. Students who have received credit for a minimum of 18 credit hours may be able to register for this course if space permits once the reserves are lifted.
• three credit hours in an elective course from any academic unit
  • for accelerated option applicants, these three credit hours will be credited towards the BScN degree for successful applicants, but are not part of the 12 credit hours required for admission.

Completion of these non-nursing courses does not guarantee acceptance into the BScN program. You should seek advice from the Academic Advising Centre prior to registering for the non-nursing courses.
