UC Irvine's nursing science is one of the few UC programs with a published rate of its own. That 1% is the rate for students who applied under that major. UCLA has a nursing program in the federal data but publishes no rate, so there is no figure to quote.","A transfer path only label means the campus reported no first-year admission for nursing.

Many are private colleges, which publish nothing by major. Six report only an RN-to-BSN path.

We leave it blank rather than fill it in."]},{"h2":"What a family should do with this","paragraphs":["Plan for the program, not the campus. Apply to several.
