On Thursday, March 15th, 2007 Alberta Advanced Education Minister Doug Horner made the announcement that Mount Royal College has been approved to offer a University degree program.

MRC will be giving a Bachelor of Nursing degree and will start the new program in September. As a result of this approval, application deadline for the program has been extended until April 15th.

The program is allowed to take 330 students in first year, but could grow up to 980 students in next 4 years.

This first Bachelor of Nursing University degree program is creating the possibility of Mount Royal College becoming an undergraduate university in near future.
