Massachusetts, known as the Bay State, is ranked #16 in total number of CRNA Schools in the United States. It shares the #16 CRNA School ranking with Alabama, Arkansas, Maryland, Arizona, New Jersey as well as with several other States. Although MA is one of the smallest states by size, it has some of the most prestigious universities in the country including Harvard and MIT. In fact, many CRNA students had originally planned to study in NYC but ultimately decided on CRNA Schools in Massachusetts for the cultural history and diversity in a slightly smaller & moderately paced city. They also rave on incredible summers, world-famous seafood, and top-notch hospitals for CRNA employment opportunities after graduation.
Massachusetts is currently pending legislation for the RN Compact States agreement. That means in the future RN nurses in MA will be able to move around freely and work within all 33 approved multi-license states. This will likely happen sometime in 2021. However, it’s important to note that there is no such APRN Compact for nurse anesthetists yet though this may change in the future. This is something that is important when people consider CRNA Schools in Massachusetts.
Nurse Anesthetist Programs in Massachusetts
There are two CRNA Schools in Massachusetts located in the cities of Boston and Chestnut Hill as shown below:
Northeastern CRNA, Boston (Doctor of Nursing Practice – Nurse Anesthesia)
Boston College CRNA, Chestnut Hill (Doctor of Nursing Practice – Nurse Anesthesia)
Both CRNA programs in MA offer DNP degrees. There are no nurse anesthetist schools in Massachusetts that offer MSN master’s degrees. In fact, Northeastern CRNA just converted the MSN CRNA program to DNP for the 2021 academic year. The Northeastern CRNA program is conducted through the Bouvé College of Health Sciences. In addition, Boston College CRNA has an excellent academic track record of 100% students passing the NCE on the 1st attempt since 2015. The School’s graduate nursing program ranks #27 in the 2021 US News Report.
Applicants for both schools are required to have a current RN license with any State. However, upon acceptance into either program, they must obtain a Massachusetts registered nurse license prior to start of classes. As of Year End 2020, there are 122 CRNA schools in the United States and 2.4 CRNA schools in each State on average. To compare, there are 13 CRNA schools in Pennsylvania and 9 CRNA schools in Florida. In addition, North Carolina and Tennessee both have 6 CRNA schools. On the other hand, there are no CRNA programs at all in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, New Mexico, Vermont, New Hampshire, Alaska, and Hawaii. Oftentimes, the States with more CRNA schools tend to have more CRNA jobs as well. This generalization applies to CRNA Schools in Massachusetts because the State ranks #19 in the greatest number of CRNA jobs and #16 in the number of CRNA schools.
CRNA Programs in Massachusetts Acceptance Rate
The average acceptance rate for CRNA schools in Massachusetts is 24%. The acceptance rate of Northeastern CRNA is 27% with a class size of 27 students and the acceptance rate of the Boston College CRNA is 20% with a class size of 16 students. Northeastern has a fairly sizable class size, which increases the probability of being admitted into the program. Overall, the 24% average acceptance rate is similar to the national CRNA average acceptance rate of 26%. In general, the easiest CRNA schools to get into by State are generally in the States with more CRNA schools. For example, the average acceptance rate for CRNA schools in Florida is 30% with 9 CRNA Schools.

Nurse Anesthetist Schools in Mass Conclusion

These two CRNA programs in MA are especially attractive options for those interested in living in Massachusetts or those interested in working in the State after graduation.

Nurse Anesthetist Schools in UT Conclusion
To sum up, there are not many CRNA schools in Utah because there is only one program. Most students interested in attending CRNA school in the West Coast end up applying to CRNA Schools in California, where there are 5 programs.
Pursuing a CRNA program in Utah will also make sense if you plan on staying within the State after graduation. This is because it is common that a SRNA nurse can find nurse anesthetist jobs within the same State easier than students from out of State upon finishing school.

Indiana, known as the Hoosier State, is ranked #30 in total number of CRNA Schools in the United States. It shares the #30 ranking with many other States including Iowa, Maine, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island as well as a few others. Indiana is sometimes called the ‘Crossroads of America’ due to its central geographic location and the fact that it is part of the RN Compact States agreement. This means RN nurses are able to move around freely and work within all 33 approved multi-license states. However, it’s important to note that there is no such APRN Compact for nurse anesthetists yet though this may change in the future. The central location allows students at CRNA Schools in Indiana to make affordable travel arrangements to explore other cities in the US that they feel their careers and life paths could take them.
Nurse Anesthetist Programs in Indiana
In total, there are just one CRNA Schools in Indiana. It is surprising that neither of the two largest schools in the State, Purdue University and Indiana University, offers a CRNA program in Indiana. The one CRNA School in IN is shown below:
CRNA students in Indiana say they appreciate the personality and culture of the people in the State. Even though it is located in the North, local residents say the State has a southern charm and the pace of life is slower than other States. There are also many things to do in Indianapolis, such as the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the Civic Theater or events such as Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra or the annual Indianapolis 500 speed race. Students also appreciate the lower cost of living in Indianapolis as compared to other cities in the US.
As of Year End 2020, there are 122 CRNA schools in the United States and 2.4 CRNA schools in each State on average. To compare, there are 13 CRNA schools in Pennsylvania and 9 CRNA schools in Florida. In addition, North Carolina and Tennessee both have 6 CRNA schools. On the other hand, there are no CRNA programs at all in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, New Mexico, Vermont, New Hampshire, Alaska, and Hawaii. Oftentimes, the States with more CRNA schools tend to have more CRNA jobs as well. Unfortunately, BLS does not provide number of CRNAs jobs employment information for the State of Indiana.
CRNA Programs in Indiana Acceptance Rate
The average acceptance rate for CRNA programs in Indiana is 24%. This is slightly lower than the national CRNA average acceptance rate of 26%. In general, the easiest CRNA schools to get into by State are generally in the States with more CRNA schools.

This compares with an acceptance rate of 13% for CRNA schools in Georgia and 24% in South Carolina, which only have 2 CRNA schools.

Missouri, known as the Show-Me State, is ranked #10 in total number of CRNA Schools in the United States. It shares the #10 ranking with Connecticut and Minnesota. Located in the mid-western region of the US, Missouri has a hodgepodge of urban and rural areas as well as hot summers with cold winters. Missouri is part of the RN Compact States agreement. This means RN nurses are able to move around freely and work within all 33 approved multi-license states. However, it’s important to note that there is no such APRN Compact for nurse anesthetists yet though this may change in the future.
Nurse Anesthetist Programs in Missouri
There are several CRNA Programs in Missouri located along the major port city of St Louis and Kansas City, the largest city in Missouri. In total, there are four CRNA Schools in Missouri as shown below:
Goldfarb CRNA, St Louis (Doctor of Nursing Practice)
All the CRNA schools in Missouri are DNP Doctorate degrees. There are no MSN master’s degrees offered any longer in Missouri.
As of Year End 2020, there are 122 CRNA schools in the United States and 2.4 CRNA schools in each State on average. To compare, there are 13 CRNA schools in Pennsylvania and 9 CRNA schools in Florida. In addition, North Carolina and Tennessee both have 6 CRNA schools. On the other hand, there are no CRNA programs at all in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, New Mexico, Vermont, New Hampshire, Alaska, and Hawaii. Oftentimes, the States with more CRNA schools tend to have more CRNA jobs as well. This rule of thumb also applies to Missouri – Missouri is ranked #15 in number of CRNA jobs in the US, one ranking above Louisiana at #16.
CRNA Programs in Missouri Acceptance Rate
The average acceptance rate for CRNA programs in Missouri is 33%. This is significantly higher than the national CRNA average acceptance rate of 26%. In general, the easiest CRNA schools to get into by State are generally in the States with more CRNA schools. For example, the average acceptance rate for CRNA schools in Florida is 30% with 9 CRNA Schools. This compares with an acceptance rate of 13% for CRNA schools in Georgia and 24% in South Carolina, which only have 2 CRNA schools. In the case of Missouri, this generalization also applies as CRNA Programs in MO overall are the easiest CRNA schools to get into.
All the CRNA schools in Missouri have an acceptance rate of 30% or higher. Truman CRNA Program and the Webster University CRNA Program both have an acceptance rate of 30%. Goldfarb CRNA acceptance rate is 33%. On the high end, the Missouri State University CRNA acceptance rate is 38%. In my opinion, the high acceptance rates may be because many future CRNAs are not aware of the nurse anesthetist programs in Missouri. In fact, last year only 230 qualified students applied for 75 slots for CRNA schools in MO. I believe this is a unique opportunity for anyone interested in attending CRNA schools.

Nurse Anesthetist Schools in MO Conclusion
In summary, if you are concerned about the competitiveness of CRNA schools, you may want to consider CRNA schools in Missouri. From speaking with other nurse anesthetists, many CRNA school applicants may not be aware of the number of CRNA programs in Missouri as only 230 applicants applied for a total of 75 CRNA school slots last year. Overall, this is an extremely high CRNA acceptance rate for the State.
Pursuing a CRNA program in Missouri will also make sense if you plan on staying within the State after graduation. This is because it is common that a SRNA nurse can find nurse anesthetist jobs within the same State easier than students from out of State upon finishing school.

Wisconsin, known as the Badger State, is ranked #13 in total number of CRNA Schools in the United States. It shares the #13 CRNA School ranking with New York and Puerto Rico. Most famous for being America’s Dairyland, Wisconsin is located in the Midwest and is strong in agriculture, manufacturing and tourism. Sometimes called Wisconsinites, students studying at CRNA Schools in Wisconsin enjoy the outdoors with Lake Michigan, hiking and camping in the rural State and appreciate the city and nightlife of urban centers like Milwaukee.
Wisconsin is included in the RN Compact States agreement that means RN nurses in Wisconsin are able to move around freely and work within all 33 approved multi-license states. However, it’s important to note that there is no such APRN Compact for nurse anesthetists yet though this may change in the future. This is something that is important when people consider CRNA Schools in Wisconsin.
Nurse Anesthetist Programs in Wisconsin
There are three CRNA Schools in Wisconsin located in the cities of La Crosse, Milwaukee and Oshkosh as shown below:
All three CRNA programs in WI offer DNP degrees. There are no nurse anesthetist schools in Wisconsin that offer MSN master’s degrees. The Mayo Clinic Health System School of Anesthesia is a partnership with the Franciscan Healthcare campus in La Crosse, Wisconsin. It is a boutique program that promotes Christian concepts that emphasize the dignity of all human persons, their origin, purpose and destiny. Marquette is also a boutique program in Milwaukee that has become more competitive in recent year with the number of applicants gone up 28% in the past year. Lastly, UW Oshkosh was the first school to offer a doctoral level nurse anesthetist program in Wisconsin in 2017. The program has been a success and is well regarded by nurse anesthetists in Wisconsin.
As of Year End 2020, there are 122 CRNA schools in the United States and 2.4 CRNA schools in each State on average. To compare, there are 13 CRNA schools in Pennsylvania and 9 CRNA schools in Florida. In addition, North Carolina and Tennessee both have 6 CRNA schools. On the other hand, there are no CRNA programs at all in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, New Mexico, Vermont, New Hampshire, Alaska, and Hawaii. Oftentimes, the States with more CRNA schools tend to have more CRNA jobs as well.
This generalization applies to CRNA Schools in Wisconsin as the State ranks #17 in the greatest number of CRNA jobs in the US, which is like its CRNA school ranking. This is one rank above New Jersey, which is ranked #18. However, what stands out the most about Wisconsin is the CRNA salary. The average CRNA salary in Wisconsin is US$233,600, which ranks #4 in the entire United States.
CRNA Programs in Wisconsin Acceptance Rate
The average acceptance rate for CRNA schools in Wisconsin is 17%. Overall, the 17% acceptance rate is significantly lower than the national CRNA average acceptance rate of 26%. Mayo Clinic Health System reported an acceptance rate of 25% with a class size of 10 while Marquette CRNA reported an acceptance rate of only 7% with a class size of 10. Finally, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh CRNA had an acceptance rate of 20% with a class size of 15. In general, the easiest CRNA schools to get into by State are generally in the States with more CRNA schools. For example, the average acceptance rate for CRNA schools in Florida is 30% with 9 CRNA Schools.
However, that does not apply to nurse anesthetist schools in Wisconsin. It seems the low acceptance rates in Wisconsin are a factor of exceedingly small CRNA class sizes in the programs in the State. This is because the average class size in CRNA schools is 24 students per year.
