Category: CRNA Schools by State

New York, known as the Empire State, is ranked #13 in total number of CRNA Schools in the United States.  It shares the #13 ranking with Wisconsin and Puerto Rico.  With NY having more 4-year bachelor’s degree granting institutions in the United than any other State, it is actually surprising that there are so few CRNA programs in NY.  In addition, only one program is in the city (Columbia) while the others are 3-6 hours driving time away.  In fact, Columbia is the only CRNA program located in Manhattan, NYC and is considered part of the 8 universities in the Ivy League.  The Buffalo CRNA Program is part of the SUNY (State University of NY) system which includes 4 universities and more than 60 community & technical colleges.  In total, there are 3 CRNA Schools in New York as shown below.

1. Columbia University CRNA, NYC (Master of Science in Nursing)
2. Albany Medical College CRNA Program, Albany (Master of Science in Nursing)
3. Buffalo CRNA Program, Buffalo (Doctor of Nursing Anesthesia Practice)

CRNA Schools in New York

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 definitely is suitable to CRNA jobs in New York – the State of New York is ranked #8 in the US in terms of the most number of nurse anesthetist jobs, one ranking above Illinois at #9.

CRNA Programs in New York Acceptance Rate

The average acceptance rate for CRNA programs in New York is 34%.  This is significantly higher compared 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.  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 New York, this generalization does not fully apply.

The reason for the higher acceptance rate in NY is because of there are only 3 CRNA schools and the SUNY Buffalo CRNA Program acceptance rate is 41%, which skews the average up.  SUNY’s high acceptance rate is because there are less than 40 qualified applicants who applied in the previous year, yet the school accepted 16 applicants.  Thus, this may be an easier CRNA school to get into.
