Bachelor of Nursing - After Degree

The Bachelor of Nursing - After Degree is a 24-month continuous program starting in September of each year and is a collaborative program offered by the University of Lethbridge and Lethbridge College.

New applicants apply directly to the University of Lethbridge. Newly admitted students will register in and attend courses at Lethbridge College for the first two semesters of the program.

The Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Lethbridge strives to prepare excellent Nursing graduates by fostering the development of innovative clinical decision making, diagnostic reasoning, interpersonal skills, leadership behaviors, and technical knowledge and skills. Students who have an approved degree from a recognized university may choose to complete either the Bachelor of Nursing After Degree program, or the 40-course Bachelor of Nursing program.
