Committed to accessible, innovative nursing education, the UVic School of Nursing offers an undergraduate degree (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) and two graduate degrees (Master of Nursing & PhD in Nursing).
We are also committed to research, professional activities, knowledge generation, and advancement of nursing practice. Through partnerships among educators, students, practitioners, researchers and policy developers, we promote health and social change.
