There are two routes of entry to this program.

Applications to the Master's program are accepted from:

· Nurses holding a bachelor's degree in nursing equivalent to the B.Sc.(N.) or B.N. undergraduate degree offered at McGill.

· Graduates with a general B.A. or B.Sc. from programs comparable to the McGill undergraduate degrees and no previous nursing preparation. This route of entry to graduate studies in nursing is unique in Canada.

3. The School of Nursing of McGill University and the Faculté de Sciences Infirmières of the Université de Montréal offer a joint doctorate program leading to a Ph.D. in Nursing. Candidates that have completed master's level studies with either their undergraduate or graduate degree in Nursing are eligible to apply. Selected students may be admitted after completion of their first year of master's study at McGill.

The language of instruction at McGill is English. Every student has a right to write term papers, examinations and theses in English or in French except in courses where knowledge of a language is one of the objectives of the course.
