Bachelor of Science in Nursing

For the pre-professional year,students will need to apply through the University of Saskatchewan’s College of Arts and Science and complete the 30 credit units of courses required for year 1 of the degree program. If, after you complete your pre-professional year, you decide you do not want to pursue nursing, you can remain in the USask College of Arts and Science and continue to work toward another program of study.

The pre-professional year of study at a post-secondary level provides a solid foundation in university education, preparation for upper-year nursing classes and transferable credits to other health science degrees.
