The M.S.N. program equips graduates for leadership roles. Upon finishing, nurses gain access to expanded career paths in education, advanced practice, policy development, healthcare administration, and nursing research. Candidates need to be registered nurses holding a bachelor's degree (typically in nursing) and must satisfy UBC Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies admission criteria. Graduates cultivate leadership abilities for advanced nursing practice. The program provides pathways for immediate progression into PhD programs. The curriculum requires 33 credits total, including required courses, specialization options, electives, plus either a 3-credit research project (NURS 595) or 6-credit thesis (NURS 599).
