Why are some programs longer than others?

[icuCCRNurse]

In researching CRNA schools, I'm wondering if anyone knows specifically why some programs are longer than others? Why should I choose a 33 month masters program instead of a 36 month doctorates? Or a 33 month masters over a 28 month masters? What are the reasons for the longer programs? Do they tend to require less time dedicated per week? Does it take longer to fulfill clinical obligations due to location? I'm looking for insight. Thank you!

You can call each program and ask or try to figure this out by reading about the programs on their websites. I might suppose that it has something to do with their scheduling, particularly of weekly clinical requirements.
