Worst CRNA Schools from US News
These are the worst CRNA Schools as rated by US News & World Report. US News is more politically correct in their rankings in an indirect way. All of the CRNA programs listed below have a ranking of N/A which means RNP (Rank not Published). On a separate page for health schools methodology, the US News publication stated that
Schools in the health rankings published in 2016 with a score of less than 2.0 are listed as Rank Not Published, or RNP.
Therefore, in actuality, the CRNA school ranking is available, but it is most likely a suboptimal score that may be embarrassing for the public to see or be aware of.
