What will I learn?

The University of Regina and Saskatchewan Polytechnic jointly offer two collaborative programs: the Saskatchewan Collaborative Bachelor of Science in Nursing (SCBScN) and the After Degree Nursing program (ADNP).

Each program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree (BScN).

Both programs have been approved by the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses’ Association (SRNA); the SCBScN program has also been accredited by the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN).

Saskatchewan Collaborative Bachelor of Science in Nursing (SCBScN)

As a Student in the SCBScN program you will begin your nursing education in Year 1 with opportunities to work directly with patients and clients.

The SCBScN program includes eight semesters of course work. The program is designed for full-time study.

SCBScN is accredited by the Canadian Association of Nursing (CASN). This means that your nursing program meets national standards of excellence in nursing education.

In addition to the standard program the SCBScN has the following options for qualifying students:

Bilingual Program Option

The SCBScN program offer’s the four year degree program as a Bilingual Program Option in partnership with the University of Regina, Saskatchewan Polytechnic and La Cité universitaire francophone.

What's Different

Students in the bilingual cohort will expand their professional communication skills in Canada's two official languages and increase their career opportunities.

After Degree Nursing Program (ADNP)

The ADNP provides applicants who hold a degree in another field to complete the Saskatchewan Collaborative Bachelor of Science in Nursing (SCBScN) program.
