We Mold Critical Thinkers and Caring Leaders

Nurse anesthesia education goes beyond the textbooks and arithmetic. Our program prepares graduates for handling real-world situations with a human touch while upholding the highest professional standards.

The Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice curriculum consists of 126 graduate semester hours, blending health and nursing sciences to develop students into advanced practitioners in nurse anesthesia who integrate research findings into practice. The curriculum requires 36 months of continuous full-time study. Each practicum moves seamlessly into the next trimester session without traditional academic or trimester breaks, with breaks pre-scheduled by the program.
