The Master of Nursing Nurse Practitioner (M.N.-N.P.) program equips nurses to deliver primary healthcare services. Graduates gain skills to evaluate, identify, and manage typical health issues for patients of all ages, qualifying them to pursue Nurse Practitioner (Family) licensure in British Columbia. Candidates need to satisfy the UBC Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies' standard criteria, maintain active Registered Nurse status in British Columbia, and possess at least three years of hands-on nursing experience. Ideal candidates exhibit outstanding clinical skills and the ability to work independently.
Applicants for a master's degree program must hold the academic equivalent of a four-year bachelor's degree from UBC with: a minimum overall average in the B+ grade range (76-79% at UBC) in third-year level and above courses; or academic standing with at least 12 credits of third- or fourth-year courses in the A grade range (80% or higher at UBC) in the field of study; or applicants who have a four-year bachelor's degree, or its academic equivalent, which does not meet the requirements stated above, but who have had significant formal training and relevant professional experience to offset such deficiencies, may be granted admission on the recommendation of the appropriate graduate program or faculty and approval of the Dean of the College of Graduate Studies.
