Program Transfer Search

Your college studies equate to approximately one half of a year (i.e. 2.5 full course equivalents [FCE]) of study at Lakehead. To receive the 2.5 FCE, you must be registered with the College of Nurses of Ontario and be eligible to practice in Ontario.

To be considered for an offer of admission to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, you must complete your two-year Practical Nursing Diploma with an overall average of at least 70%. Given the competitiveness of the program, meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. The cutoff averages tend to be higher than 70%.   

In addition, you must satisfy the following prerequisite requirements with a final grade of at least 60%:

• Ontario high school's Grade 12 University-level English (ENG4U) or equivalent, 
• Ontario high school's Grade 12 University-level Biology (SBI4U) or equivalent,
• Ontario high school's Grade 12 University-level Chemistry (SCH4U) or equivalent, and
• Ontario high school's Grade 12 University-level Mathematics (MCV4U, MDM4U, or MHF4U) or equivalent.

Your communications and anatomy courses tend to satisfy the English and biology prerequisite requirements, assuming you achieve the required minimum grade.
