TCU's School of Nurse Anesthesia offers two tracks for entry to practice. One is a 28-month master's program which begins each August with a year of coursework including pharmacology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, and research. This is followed by a 16-month residency during which students are placed in hospital settings. This clinical education is under the guidance of clinical faculty who are expert physician and nurse anesthetists. The other track is a 36-month doctoral program which begins each January with 8-months of on-line courses and then follows the same format as the 28-month program.
