The University of Alberta’s Master of Nursing program is designed to prepare registered nurses for leadership, research, and advanced practice roles within an evolving healthcare landscape. Through a blend of theoretical and applied learning, students gain the knowledge and skills necessary to specialize in their chosen area of nursing. Core courses across each stream build a strong foundation in research, critical inquiry, and problem-solving—essential competencies for advanced practice nurses. Students have the option to complete either a thesis-based or course-based stream, allowing for flexibility based on professional goals and interests. The program also integrates experiential learning through clinical practica and projects that provide real-world exposure in diverse healthcare environments.
Emphasizing innovation, inclusivity, and reconciliation, the curriculum prepares graduates to meet the healthcare needs of Indigenous persons and communities while fostering leadership in health equity and diversity. Students learn to conduct and apply research, evaluate healthcare practices, and use technology to enhance patient care and system efficiency. Graduates emerge equipped to contribute to policy development, education, and health service delivery, capable of addressing complex challenges through evidence-based decision-making. The program cultivates nurse leaders who can advocate for improved health outcomes, influence policy, and drive meaningful change across healthcare systems locally, nationally, and globally.
