Master of Science in Nursing (MScN)

Laurentian University

The Master of Science in Nursing (MScN) program produces graduates who have the knowledge, values, attitudes and competencies reflecting the philosophy, nature and scope of nursing of diverse populations in small urban, northern rural, and remote communities. The learner will develop a richer understanding of the discipline of nursing and its relationship to the context of health care service delivery and policy issues. The program also broadens learners' understanding of nursing by encouraging them to engage with scholars from other departments and disciplines as well as those with other professional experiences. All streams in the MScN program are delivered remotely, designed for mature learners who do not reside in Sudbury. There are onsite requirements for the Nurse Practitioner program only. The deadline for applications to the program is February 1st for each year for Fall entry. Entry is in the Fall only.
