Online CRNA Programs

[ZackFlightRN, BSN, EMT-P]

Howdy all,

Doing some research on programs and trying to figure out which schools offer an online program. I know there are no fully online programs due to clinicals, skills training and things of that nature, but trying to help my spouse out by finding out which ones offer a good portion of the program online. We’re located in San Antonio, TX and can’t move, so just trying to figure out our options.

Thanks in advance!

To my knowledge, you will not find a single CRNA program that is mostly online. At most, some programs have the first semester or two with mostly online courses if they are front loaded (carry-over benefit from COVID times). That means maybe 4-9 months can possibly be online out of the newly required minimum 36-month program length.

If serious about CRNA aspirations, you will most likely need to consider relocation based on the number of CRNA schools available in your area and on how competitive admissions are to these programs.

Hi, I don't think this will really help you, but in case it helps anyone else looking for a program that has an online component: VCU is online- only for the first 8 months (January- August). There are local campuses in each Richmond, Abingdon, Roanoke, and Alexandria, VA.
