| With the exception of the U of S, where we have a pre-professional year at Lakeland, most nursing programs are direct entry. This is because most have courses such as psychology for nurses and not just a psychology course. While transfers may be possible, you likely wouldn’t receive credit for a full year. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
- Grade12 English
- Grade12 Mathematics
- Grade12 Biology
- Grade12 Chemistry
Admission requirements for a Bachelor of Science degree vary, depending upon the area of interest. Some science programs require only two, not three, Grade 12 science courses. However, students with Biology 30, Chemistry 30, and Physics 30 are best prepared to pursue a variety of options in the sciences.
Students planning to start in UT and pursue the U of S Nursing degree specifically require the following prerequisite courses: Alberta High School Prerequisites - English 30-1, Pure Math 30 or Math 30-1 or Math 30-2, Biology 30, and Chemistry 30; Saskatchewan High School Prerequisites - English A30/B30, Math A30/B30/C30 or Pre-Calculus 30 or Foundations of Math 30, Biology 30, and Chemistry 30. |
