Welcome to the Kitty DeGree School of Nursing
The ULM Kitty DeGree School of Nursing has a long history of excellence. The School
was founded in 1960 and graduated the first class of baccalaureate nurses in 1964.
We will soon celebrate 50 years of program success. Baccalaureate nursing graduates
at ULM receive a broad based general educational foundation inclusive of history,
English, science, and arts. Graduates also receive education in all aspects of nursing
care and are prepared to work in a variety of health care environments.
The United States is in the midst of a nursing shortage that is expected to intensify
as baby boomers age and the need for health care grows. This fact makes choosing
a career in nursing a good employment decision.
The baccalaureate and master's degree programs in nursing at University of Louisiana
Monroe Kitty DeGree School of Nursing are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate
Nursing Education (http://www.ccneaccreditation.org).
Nursing students at ULM have the opportunity of meeting new people and experiencing
nursing in a variety of clinical setting. Students have clinical in hospital and
community care settings. They are supervised by experienced faculty who love to teach
and love the profession of nursing.
Consider joining the ULM Nursing family and experience the excitement of learning
