This action paved the way for the development of an undergraduate basic program in nursing leading to the Bachelor of Science degree, and made possible the establishment of a graduate program leading to the Master of Science degree. UCLA School of Nursing’s program is fully accredited, often ranking as one of the top 10 nursing programs in the United States.
