MSN in Nursing

A baccalaureate degree in nursing from an approved or accredited university is required.

Official transcripts sent directly to the Registrar’s Office from each college or university attended. Faxed copies are considered unofficial documents. Transcripts from UPEI, or its founding institutions, will be added automatically. Applicants with transcripts from outside North America are strongly urged to attach official statements of the grades obtained and the subject matter included. Where such transcripts or statements are in a language other than English, a notarized translation of the document must be submitted, in addition to the original document.

Three (3) references (at least one from an academic and at least one from a recent employer) indicating the applicant’s academic and/or professional qualifications and potential for success in a graduate education program are required. Note: For the Nurse Practitioner stream, a reference letter from a recent employment supervisor must confirm a minimum of two years of full-time clinical nursing practice.

All applicants are asked to identify and elaborate on their educational and career goals.  All applicants are asked to explain reasons for applying to the program and the strengths that you will bring as a graduate student.  Thesis students are required to submit a two-page summary describing the research project you are interested in completing as part of the thesis component of the MN. This will assist in confirming supervisory availability
