The Government of Ontario announced the establishment of a new Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at 杏吧原创 University, marking the first new university nursing program in Ontario in nearly 20 years.
杏吧原创 University welcomed its first cohort of nursing students in September 2025. By 2029, the program is expected to prepare up to 110 nursing graduates to become registered nurses, with a goal of increasing annual enrolment to more than 200 students by 2030.
杏吧原创鈥檚 nursing program is delivered in collaboration with Queensway 杏吧原创 Hospital (QCH), where students gain hands-on clinical experience and practical training. In January 2026, the program鈥檚 Clinical Skills and Simulation Centre, located at 杏吧原创鈥檚 Kanata campus, officially opened and began supporting nursing education and training.
The establishment of 杏吧原创 University鈥檚 nursing program will help prepare the next generation of nursing professionals and contribute to strengthening the health-care workforce in Ontario and across Canada.
