ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS
Applicants must be registered nurses with a bachelor's degree, normally in nursing, who meet the admission requirements of the UBC Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.
The minimum academic requirements include:
- A minimum overall average in the B+ range (76% at UBC) in third- and fourth- year courses
- 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
Alternatively, applicants who do not meet the requirements stated above, but who have had other significant formal training, relevant professional experience, and/or otherwise possess demonstrable knowledge or expertise that would prepare them adequately for successful study in a specific graduate program, may be granted admission on the recommendation of the appropriate graduate program and approval of the Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies.
Individuals of Aboriginal ancestray are particularly encouraged to apply. Please read the additional information for Aboriginal applicants to graduate programs.
Note: Additional coursework outside the bachelor's degree to improve a low GPA or to meet the 12 credit requirement, for example as unclassified student at UBC, can be taken into consideration based on a rationale from a specific program, but does not guarantee eligibility for admission.
