Tuition & Fees
Attending the UCLA School of Nursing is a valuable investment in your future.
A major factor that influences a student’s overall budget is tuition. Tuition fees are flat amounts assessed to all full-time students based on enrollment status and program. Most UCLA fees are paid by term. Costs for housing, books, materials, etc. are not included. To gain a full overview of your overall student budget, please review your program's Cost of Attendance.
Annual Student Fees by Program
Registration fees are maintained by the Registrar's Office. A breakdown of annual and term student fees is available on the Registrar's Office website for Undergraduate, Academic Doctorate and Nursing MSN programs.
Added Costs for Nursing Students
Alongside tuition and fees, nursing students should anticipate additional expenses related to their program. This may include costs for essential nursing supplies, uniforms, textbooks, and clinical equipment.
Please review an estimate of additional expenses that specifically apply to the prelicensure programs, including the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and Master Entry Program in Nursing (MECN). Please note that these figures are approximations; actual costs may vary at the time of purchase.
Being aware of these potential costs can help you budget effectively and ensure you have the necessary resources to succeed in your nursing education.
Residency
Tuition also varies depending on whether or not the student is a California resident or non-California resident. The UCLA Campus Residence Deputy decides your Residence Status for Tuition purposes. For more information regarding Residence for Tuition Purposes, please review the UC Residence Guidelines or contact a Campus Residence Deputy.
