Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about CRNA schools, locations, and choosing the right program.
How many CRNA schools are there in the US?
There are approximately 155 accredited nurse anesthesia programs across the United States, conferring either a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) or Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice (DNAP) degree. The number fluctuates slightly as new programs gain accreditation and others undergo review. All programs must be accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs (COA).
Which state has the most CRNA programs?
Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida consistently have the highest number of CRNA programs, each with 8-10+ accredited schools. This reflects their large populations, numerous medical centers, and high demand for nurse anesthetists. States like New York, California, Illinois, and North Carolina also have strong concentrations of programs.
Can I attend CRNA school in a different state?
Yes, many CRNA programs accept out-of-state students. However, tuition is often higher for non-residents at public universities. Some states participate in regional tuition agreements (such as SARA or WICHE) that can reduce costs. Clinical rotation site availability may also factor into out-of-state admission decisions.
What is the average CRNA school tuition?
CRNA school tuition ranges widely from approximately $60,000 to over $200,000 for the full program. Public universities tend to be on the lower end ($60,000–$120,000), while private institutions can cost $120,000–$200,000+. Geographic location, program length (typically 36 months), and degree type (DNP vs. DNAP) also affect total cost.
Are online CRNA programs available?
No fully online CRNA programs exist because clinical rotations — which make up a significant portion of the curriculum — must be completed in person at approved clinical sites. However, some programs offer hybrid formats where didactic (classroom) coursework is delivered online or in a blended format, with students traveling to campus for simulation labs and clinical experiences.
How do I choose between CRNA programs in different states?
Key factors to consider include tuition and total cost of attendance, cost of living in the area, clinical site variety and case volume, program pass rates on the NCE (National Certification Examination), faculty-to-student ratios, and whether the program offers the degree type you prefer (DNP vs. DNAP). Location near family or a support system can also be important given the demanding nature of the program.
