³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ

Students who are currently registered in a BSc or BA and BSc program at ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ may be interested to learn that the Bachelor of Science (Nursing) program offers a degree that builds on a strong science base and provides students with the knowledge, skills, and clinical expertise to embark on a rewarding career in the health care sector.

Nursing students study core biological science courses such as physiology, pharmacology, and pathology. Courses from the social sciences such as psychology and anthropology broaden the student’s knowledge base of human behavior and nursing science courses provide the basis for a professional degree that is a passport to the world.

The BSc(N) program is ideal for students who currently enjoy their science studies but miss interacting with people and wonder about future employment opportunities.
