  • USask Nursing Transfer Route
  • On campus completion

Take advantage of Lakeland and the University of Saskatchewan transfer agreement to a Bachelor of Science in nursing (BSN).

You may take 30 credits, or 1 year, at Lakeland College before transferring to the University of Saskatchewan's nursing program.

The first year features pre-professional courses in the humanities and natural, social and health sciences. This pre-professional year is followed by three years of nursing education leading to a BSN.

With the exception of the USask route, we don't recommend taking a nursing pre-professional year at Lakeland. Most nursing programs are direct entry. This is because most programs offer courses such as psychology for nurses and not just a psychology course. While transfers may be possible, you likely wouldn't receive credit for a full year.
At Lakeland you'll take:
  • a 6 credit English course
  • biology, chemistry and psychology courses
  • 2 electives each semester
