**1. Introduction**

Ethics is the science of duty that provides the guidelines to act honestly. In other words, ethics is a normative science [1]. In this sense, the degree processes, as a human and academic activity, are based on an ethical practice that conditions its behavior within the boundaries of an honest act [1]. Thus, this work shows that the satisfactory results in the degree indicator corresponding to the self-evaluation processes of the Catholic University of Cuenca (CU) nursing program are the product of an ethical academic-administrative process, whose protagonists are the student and the tutor. With this purpose, we propose to review a concept of ethics that exposes the study of human behavior and its application in the educational process at the higher level, which starts from the admission phase and concludes with the degree; to describe the degree process, highlighting the administrative and ethical responsibility of its actors. It is finally, based on this ethical condition, establishing the relationship of the degree results with those of the self-evaluation process in this program, in its different campuses and extensions.
