Mount Saint Vincent University: is there a nursing program in Halifax?
What the school offers (nursing)
- When we checked in October 2026, Nursing did not appear in the list of undergraduate programs in Mount Saint Vincent University’s academic calendar. That list includes Applied Human Nutrition (BSc), Child and Youth Study, Psychology, Family Science, and Aging, among others. If you need a nursing degree, confirm with the university before relying on this page.
- The Nova Scotia Nursing and Midwifery Regulator (NSNMR) lists approved education programs. For registered nurses it lists Dalhousie University, Cape Breton University and St. Francis Xavier University; for practical nursing, Nova Scotia Community College (10 campuses) and Island Career Academy (preliminary approval); for nurse practitioners, Dalhousie. Mount Saint Vincent is not on that list.
Becoming licensed after graduating
Nurses in Nova Scotia are regulated by the Nova Scotia Nursing and Midwifery Regulator (NSNMR), which regulates licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, nurse practitioners and registered psychiatric nurses. Its licensing pages refer to the NCLEX-RN for registered nurses and the Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Exam for practical nurses. Confirm current steps on the NSNMR site.
How to apply
We did not find a Mount Saint Vincent nursing application route, because no nursing program is listed. For nursing, apply to the institution that offers the program you want, using the admissions page on its own website.
How Fiabita’s Study Lab can help students here
Study Lab is independent and not affiliated with Mount Saint Vincent University. If you study at this university in a health-related field, or are preparing for nursing school elsewhere in Nova Scotia, you can upload your own notes and turn them into quizzes and flashcards. AI-generated content can contain errors, so check it against your course material.
