Description of programs Master of Science in Nursing (MScN) – The MScN program has two options: 1) Practicum (course based); and 2) Nurse Practitioner (NP) stream. Both options are delivered online. In the Practicum option, during their online course work and practicum projects, students learn to integrate and synthesize philosophical perspectives, theories, research and skills. Students choose a practicum project relevant to their interest and work setting. The project, conducted over two terms, allows students to consolidate their learning, address a real need for change, and demonstrate advanced nursing practice competencies. In the Nurse Practitioner option, nurses are prepared at an advanced level to practice as NPs in a variety of practice settings. The program consists of online courses, some week-long on-campus learning and evaluation sessions, and preceptor-supervised clinical practice. NPs have advanced knowledge and decision-making skills in health assessment, diagnosis, and health care management of common and complex conditions. Post Master's Nurse Practitioner Graduate Diploma – This diploma is designed for Master of Science in Nursing graduates who wish to pursue nurse practitioner preparation for the role of the NP. Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) – The PhD program is offered in areas reflective of the strength and expertise of current faculty members in the Faculty of Nursing. All candidates will be required to attend as full-time students during the first six semesters (two academic years) of the program. The program consists of course work, two internships, graduate seminars, and a dissertation.
