If you plan on applying to the Bachelor of Science in Psychiatric Nursing (BSPN) at Douglas College, you will need to first complete the one-year Certificate in Academic Foundations for Potential Psychiatric Nursing Applicants. You'll take 10 university-transferable courses (30 credits) in the sciences and liberal arts that will prepare you for entrance to the BSPN program.

APPLY EARLY: Students are admitted on a first-qualified, first-admitted basis. Applications will be accepted until the program is filled.

IMPORTANT: Acceptance to this program and completion of the required courses does NOT guarantee admission to the BSPN program. Once you have completed the required 30 credits with a minimum grade of C+ in each course, you may apply to the BSPN program.
