Change your life – and the world – with a Nursing Degree from McMaster University

Welcome to the School of Nursing at McMaster University. Here we empower our learners to innovate and lead change in an increasingly challenging health care environment where exceptional nurses can make all the difference. 

Our goal is simple – attract high quality students, provide them with the best experience possible, and offer a range of different pathways in which they can excel. 

At Mac Nursing, innovation runs deep. We created a much-lauded model of nursing that enables students to assess the quality of evidence and balance it with their patient’s values and preferences. And we’re a leader in problem-based learning, a McMaster innovation that ensures our nurses stand out not just for what learn, but for how they learn. 

More than 2,000 students are enrolled annually in our Bachelor, Master and PhD programs. Their success stems from strong collaborations with our partners – Mohawk College and Conestoga College who share in the delivery of our BScN programs; local teaching hospitals and community health settings that provide much-needed clinical training environments for our students; and government and non-profit organizations who fund our groundbreaking, impactful research. 

Mentored by faculty members who are leaders in their field, our graduates are improving health outcomes of patients and their families, developing policies and programs that transform communities, and generating and translating knowledge that informs nursing education, leadership and practice. 

At Mac nursing, we are committed to fostering a respectful and inclusive environment for all. This includes ensuring a culturally safe environment for our many Indigenous learners, and better integrating Indigenous knowledge and teachings into our educational and research programs. 

Whether you’re beginning post-secondary education, beginning career paths, or looking to advance your career in nursing, I invite you to get acquainted with all that Mac Nursing has to offer. Inspired by a vision of the way things can be, you, too, can change the world.
