Bachelor's in Nursing

Acadia University, located in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, is a prestigious Canadian institution renowned for its commitment to excellence in education and research. Established in 1838, Acadia offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs across various disciplines, including arts, sciences, professional studies, and more. With a focus on providing a personalized and transformative learning experience, Acadia University fosters a tight-knit community where students thrive academically and personally. The university's picturesque campus, situated in the beautiful Annapolis Valley, provides an ideal environment for intellectual exploration, innovation, and growth. Acadia University is dedicated to equipping its graduates with the skills, knowledge, and experiences necessary to succeed in their chosen fields and make a meaningful impact on the world.

Acadia University will offer courses towards a Bachelor of Science in Nursing on the Acadia campus in partnership with Cape Breton University (CBU) and supported by the Government of Nova Scotia. This initiative will help address challenges faced by rural communities across the province. 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.
