Collège universitaire de Saint-Boniface (CUSB) General Overview
|
The Collège universitaire de Saint-Boniface
(CUSB) is Manitoba’s French-language university.
It offers general and honours university
degree programs as well as professional and
technical training. The Collège is a member of
the Consortium national de formation en santé
(CNFS) which includes eleven universities and
colleges in Canada that collectively offer more
than 110 French-language programs in a wide
variety of healthcare disciplines. CNFS seeks to
improve healthcare services in francophone
minority communities throughout Canada
through post-secondary training in French for
primary healthcare professionals, and through
research on issues related to healthcare in Francophone
communities.

There are three CNFS-supported programs currently
offered at CUSB: a healthcare aide certificate,
a diploma in nursing and a Bachelor of
Social Work. Nursing students may also
complete a fourth year in the program
and receive a Bachelor of Nursing from
the University of Ottawa upon recommendation
from CUSB. This fourth year
is offered entirely by videoconference,
utilizing the high speed optical network
connection provided through MRnet,
with the clinical component coordinated
by CUSB teaching staff. This unique
partnership permits simultaneous instruction
to take place in Ottawa and Winnipeg
which allows the organizations to share resources
in a cost effective manner. This ensures
that students receive the best possible course of
study and encourages them to remain in Manitoba
to pursue employment.
