In 1949 the Regents of the University of California authorized the School of Nursing as one of the professional schools of the UCLA Center for the Health Sciences. The Graduate School of Nursing is ranked by U.S. News and World Report as one of the top graduate nursing schools in the country, and currently has an acceptance rate of 3.9%. The school offers professional degrees in Nurse Practitioner, Clinical Nurse Specialist, and Ph.D. in Nursing.
Crime[edit]
In 2012, UCLA was rated the most dangerous college campus in the US by Business Insider with 921 property crimes, and 49 violent crimes (recorded in the year 2011).[95] UCLA's director of media relations issued a response to this rank stating crime reports are taken both on and off campus, including the multiple Los Angeles County locations of UCLA medical centers and clinics, suggesting data might be inflated.[96] Other media outlets, such as the Los Angeles Times,[97] LAist,[98] and LA Weekly[99] disputed the ranking.
Economic impact[edit]

The University has a significant impact in the Los Angeles economy. It is the fourth largest employer in the county (after Los Angeles County, the Los Angeles Unified School District and the federal government) and the seventh largest in the region.[100][101]
Trademarks and licensing[edit]
The UCLA trademark "is the exclusive property of the Regents of the University of California.",[102] but it is managed, protected, and licensed through UCLA Trademarks and Licensing, a division of the Associated Students UCLA.[103][104] As such, the ASUCLA also has a share in the profits.
Due to UCLA's academic and athletic prestige, as well as the name being associated with popular images of Southern California lifestyle, apparel with UCLA logos and insignia sells not just in the United States, but as an overseas clothing and accessories brand. High demand for UCLA apparel has inspired the licensing of its trademark to UCLA brand stores throughout Europe, Middle East and Asia. Since 1980, 15 UCLA stores have opened in South Korea, and 49 are currently open in China. The newest store was opened in in the Middle East in Kuwait.[105] There are also stores in Mexico, Singapore, India and Europe.[106] UCLA makes $400,000 in royalties every year through its international licensing program.[1
