Jefferson begins a program so that RNs can get master's degrees

Twenty-five students will be accepted each year into the full-time program.

Students in the 30-month, eight-semester program will take 74 credits within three core areas of study: a nursing core that includes a research component, an anesthesia core and a clinical core.

The program, part of Jefferson's College of Health Professions, has received approval from the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs.
