- The Compressed Nursing program takes place over 28 consecutive months. Students study in all three terms (fall, winter, and summer) in Years 1 and 2, and only in the fall term in Year 3. Students interested in pursuing the Collaborative program instead complete studies over four years, with the option to complete studies in three-and-a-half years. Students pursuing the Collaborative program will have a lightened course load but are not able to fast-track the program. Both programs are only offered on a full-time basis.
Degree requirements are subject to change. Refer to the most recent version of the Academic Calendar for course descriptions and degree requirements (http://trentu.ca/calendar). Students are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor prior to registering for courses for assistance with degree planning (http://trentu.ca/advising).
