What will I learn?

Prince Edward Island was the first province in Canada to adopt baccalaureate education as the exclusive entry to nursing practice. This decision placed us at the forefront in the initiative across Canada to locate nursing education at the university level. Students in the Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program are required to take the same courses and have the same number of clinical hours as students in the four-year BScN program. The Accelerated BScN program is unique in that it recognizes previous course work toward completion of the degree. Previous course work will be recognized (60 semester hours of credit required for admission) as contributing to total credit degree requirements but will not be assigned as transfer credit if completed outside of UPEI. Students in the Accelerated BScN program will complete 81 semester hours of nursing specific courses to fulfill the degree requirements for the BScN.
