About Nursing with Honors - After Degree, BSc (Hons) - at University of Alberta

Why take the BScN Honors After-Degree Program?

The Honors After-Degree Program is for students who already hold a university degree.

The Honors After-Degree Program provides the same clinical preparation as the After Degree Program, plus the opportunity to gain more in-depth knowledge in an area of research, as well as mentoring by a Faculty of Nursing researcher.

The Honors Program also requires additional coursework. Specifically, the seminar courses "NURS 399 - Selected Topics in Nursing Research" and "NURS 499 - Scholarly Project in Nursing" are required.

We also offer the BScN (Collaborative) program, the BScN bilingual program, and the RPN-to-BScN program.
