Faculty Background: Founded in 1785, UNB is one of the oldest public universities in North America which stands on the unsurrendered and unceded traditional Wolastoqey land.

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 from high school, with university degree credits or a university degree, or with a practical nurse diploma.

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.
