====Nursing-Generic/Prelicensure/B.S.====
The Prelicensure Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree program at UCLA has been
designed to prepare students for a career in nursing. This is a three year
program beginning. The program will focus upon managing both individuals and
population-based cohorts within an acute care hospital or medical center. The
curriculum has been developed according to the principles of primary, secondary,
and tertiary prevention; moving from a systems, population-based approach, to a
cohort-based or unit-based perspective, and culminating with an intense focus on
the individual-level care.

Graduates of the program will be well-prepared to deal with the demands of the
present day high acuity patient populations and sophisticated technological
environments. The California Board of Registered Nursing has approved this
program. Graduates will be eligible to take the National Council Licensing
Examination (NCLEX) to be certified as an RN after completion of the program.

In addition to the general UC application for admission, applicants to the

nursing program must complete a supplementary application with the School of
Nursing. The Nursing/Prelicensure program is not open to second baccalaureate
applicants. Students with a non-nursing baccalaureate degree should apply for
the Masters Entry Clinical Nurse (MSN/MECN) program. For more information
regarding this major and UCLA's transfer selection process, visit
www.nursing.ucla.edu and www. admissions.ucla.edu.
