CBU and Acadia are partnering to implement a new Nursing Program at Acadia.

Successful candidates will have:

• An undergraduate/graduate degree in nursing (i.e. BScN, MN);
• A completed PhD or other Doctoral degree in a health-related field (preferred) or education; Master’s prepared applicants with a willingness to complete a Doctoral degree in progress will be considered;
