University of California School of Nursing
Instruction in public health nursing leading to certification was first offered to graduate nurses in 1918 on the Berkeley campus. In 1925, through funds appropriated by the state legislature from the accumulated funds in the State Bureau of Registered Nurses, an additional certificate curriculum in nursing education and nursing service administration was initiated.
The Berkeley and San Francisco programs were brought together administratively in 1934. On March 17, 1939, the Regents authorized the establishment of a School of Nursing, the first autonomous school of nursing in any state university. In 1941 the faculty of the School of Nursing achieved full academic status in the University. The School added programs in succeeding years:
- 1949 Master of Science
- 1965 Doctor of Nursing Science
- 1980 Articulated BS/MS Program for Registered Nurses
- 1984 Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)
- 1991 Master's Entry Program in Nursing (MEPN)
