UCLA School of Nursing ranked #9 in undergraduate nursing by U.S. News & World Report

The UCLA School of Nursing’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing program is #9 in the country, according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2025 Best Colleges Rankings.

“These rankings are a reflection of the transformational work taking place across our school every day by dedicated students, faculty and staff,” said Dr. Lin Zhan, Dean & Professor of the UCLA School of Nursing. “Bruins have a tremendous legacy of excellence in nursing and healthcare, and I am proud that we can continue this commitment to improve the health of our communities.”
