Overview

The Nursing Major is offered by Acadia University. This initiative will help address challenges faced by rural communities across the province.

Key Facts

This new program will initially operate as a satellite location of CBU — providing education on our Wolfville campus while being powered by the expertise and accreditation of their leading program. Our ultimate goal is to achieve Nova Scotia College of Registered Nurses approval and transition to offer a standalone Acadia University Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Approximately 50 percent of the nursing seats will be designated for Mi’kmaq, Indigenous, and African Nova Scotian students.
