University Transfer
Bachelor of Science Nursing USask Transfer Route
Location
Lloydminster
Credential
30 credits to Bachelor's Degree
Program Length
1 to 4 years
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
