Bachelor of Nursing program at Medicine Hat College

The Bachelor of Nursing program at Medicine Hat College is a four-year partnership program offered entirely at the Medicine Hat College site, allowing students in the Medicine Hat area increased access to a baccalaureate program without having to relocate. 

In this route, you can study the entire program at the MHC campus and graduate with a University of Calgary degree.

• 4-year partnership program; students will apply to enter the program in year one at Medicine Hat College
