Basic Bachelor of Nursing Program

UNB's four-year Bachelor of Nursing program includes a majority of course work in Nursing as well as courses from other disciplines (i.e., English, Biology, Psychology, etc.)

Opportunities are emphasized for clinical practice where students work with individuals, families, and communities at various stages of the life cycle and in a variety of settings.

This is a sample of the usual course matrix for the basic BN program. For the course descriptions or more information see the UNB Undergraduate Calendar.
