    Humber is proud of its collaboration with the University of New Brunswick – both institutions have long-standing traditions of excellence in nursing education in Canada. Students receive all four years of undergraduate degree education at Humber in Toronto. Upon completion they receive their Bachelor of Nursing degree from the University of New Brunswick.

    A relevant, well-rounded curriculum focuses on the nurse’s role in community/public health, primary health-care, and acute-care settings. All full-time faculty hold a master’s degree, while some hold doctorate preparation or are engaged in doctoral studies.
