University Offerings

The University program offers specific, first-year options for a degree in a variety of fields, including:

Arts & Science
The first year provides you with the opportunity to take a variety of courses needed to pursue the degree of your choice. You can also keep your options open and take the time to identify program areas that interest you. Student advisers will work with you to help select classes that meet general degree requirements. That way, when you are ready to choose a major or program you will likely have the prerequisites in place.

Education
Students accepted into the University of Regina’s Elementary or Middle Years programs or the University of Saskatchewan's Early Middle Years program can complete their first year at Great Plains College. Secondary Education students can also take courses toward their program as full-time or part-time students. An adviser will assist you with course selection to fit your Education program.

Pre-Nursing
Students interested in obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from the University of Saskatchewan can take their first year, 30 credit hours, of pre-professional Arts and Science courses at Great Plains College.

Social Work
Begin the first year of a University of Regina Social Work degree and start to gain the skills necessary to counsel individuals and groups, develop and administer programs, and implement problem-solving strategies, often with minority and disadvantaged groups in urban, rural and remote areas. Complete your remaining years online or at the University of Regina.

Please note: transfer credits between the University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan or to other post-secondary institutions should always be confirmed prior to registration.
