Bachelor of Applied Arts in Gerontology for Practical Nurses
Bachelor of Applied Arts
St. Thomas University offers a Bachelor of Applied Arts (BAA) in two areas: Criminal Justice and Gerontology. Applied arts programs differ from the BA programs in that they combine the study of liberal arts with technical training. The applied degrees are articulated programs in that each is offered in partnership with a campus of the New Brunswick Community College. Students in the BAA enrol at St. Thomas for part of their program and at the appropriate community college for the rest. Upon completion of their course of study, students are normally awarded two credentials: a St. Thomas Bachelor of Applied Arts Degree and a diploma from the community college.
Bachelor of Applied Arts in Gerontology for Practical Nurses
The Bachelor of Applied Arts in Gerontology for Practical Nurses is a collaborative program with the New Brunswick Community College that offers students a combination of training in practical nursing and liberal arts education in gerontology. With the region’s aging population, skilled practical nurses who possess both technical and theoretical training in gerontology will be in demand for employment in a variety of settings. This could include hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, community centers, home-support, and many non-traditional care settings.
The first two years of the program are offered at NBCC where students earn a diploma in Practical Nursing. The third and fourth years of the program?are offered by St. Thomas, where advanced courses are linked to healthcare services such as health promotion for an aging population, mental health and aging, understanding dementia, critical approaches to long-term care, and death and dying in later life. Upon?completion of the second stage of the program, students are awarded a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Gerontology for Practical Nurses.
