TCU Harris College | School of Nurse Anesthesia

TCU's School of Nurse Anesthesia offers two programs. One is a 28-month masters program which begins with a year of coursework including pharmacology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, and research. During the following 16-month residency, students are placed in hospital settings across the nation for clinical education. They practice under the guidance of clinical faculty, expert physicians, and nurse anesthetists. The other is a 36-month doctoral program which begins with 8-months of on-line courses and then follows the same format as the 28-month program.
