Public CRNA schools?

Published

I've been looking into CRNA schools, and it seems to be hard to find a comprehensive lists of all the public universities that offer a CRNA program (DNP).

I am particularly wondering if the kaiser permanente program is a public program since it is associated with a public university.

If someone could give me insight on that and maybe on other public universities with a CRNA program that would be great.

Why are you looking for a program in a public institution?

If you are looking for a public university's program just because of its relatively cheaper tuition, be cautious, not always true. Some private programs are actually very cheap (St Mary), and some public ones are very expensive (buffalo).

Public in your state of residence can be less expensive but for out of state the programs are often more expensive than private institutions. The COA website is a good list.
