Honors Admission Requirements

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) Honors Program is for a diverse group of bright, creative and curious students who have an interest in engaging in nursing research. Students apply from our BScN Collaborative Program or apply directly to the After Degree Honors Program.

The BScN-Honors Program provides the same clinical preparation as the Collaborative and After Degree Programs. In addition, Honors students will gain more in-depth knowledge in the area of research and — mentored and supported by a Faculty of Nursing researcher — carry out Honors research activities within the context of their supervisor’s research program. Honors research activities will include a range of research experiences and network-building within the context of team-based research.
