Faculty Background: Founded in 1785, UNB is one of the oldest public universities in North

Faculty of Nursing has a long-standing history offering nursing education in New Brunswick
with its first undergraduate degree program being launched in 1958 and graduate degree
program in 1995. The Faculty of Nursing is situated on the UNB Fredericton campus, has a

learning.
Across these locations, the Faculty of Nursing offers a range of pathways toward earning
Bachelor and Master of Nursing degrees that include options for individuals entering directly

Nursing Thesis/Report or Master of Nursing Advanced Nurse Practitioner.
The Bachelor of Nursing program is accredited by the Canadian Association of Schools of
Nursing and is approved by the Nurses Association of New Brunswick. Across our
