Master of Science in Nursing (Thesis-Based)

University of British Columbia - Okanagan Campus

The Master of Science in Nursing program provides a student-centered, world-class education to elevate your nursing career. Our program is designed for both experienced nurses and recent graduates. Choose from MSN course- or thesis-based options and specialize in Nursing Education, Leadership, Primary Care or Indigenous-Focused Care.With flexible online learning methods, you can study full-time or part-time in an online format - designed to fit your schedule and support work-life balance. In the MSN thesis-based program, students are required to do a research project under the supervision of a faculty member. Your proposed research plan must fit within a supervisor’s area of research. Thesis-based students pursue academia and research careers.A thesis-based MSN is preferred over a course-based MSN for admission to PhD studies but is not required.
