Program Summary
All registered nurses who graduate in British Columbia
are now required to complete a four-year
baccalaureate degree in order to meet national
and provincial standards for nursing education.
Students entering the Bachelor of Science in
Nursing Program at Selkirk College may complete
the four-year baccalaureate degree on site. During
the first two and one-half years, students will be
considered Selkirk College students. For the last
one and a half years, students will be enrolled with
the University of Victoria with classes at Selkirk
College Castlegar campus.
Collaboration for Academic
Education in Nursing
The Selkirk College Nursing Program is in
partnership with the University of Victoria and
eight other universities and colleges in BC and the
NWT, forming the Collaboration for Academic
Education in Nursing (C.A.E.N.). These
collaborating programs offer the same nursing
curriculum. Transferability is a core value of the
collaboration and the Schools of Nursing facilitate
student transfer between sites whenever possible.
