In June 2016, the BS-DNP program for nurse anesthetists received approval from the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs to award the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree to graduates of the nurse anesthesia program. The 36-month, 102 credit curriculum meets the requirements of both institutions and accrediting bodies. The curriculum is centered on our core values of integrity, excellence, resolve and balance and our program motto of “Vigilance, Knowledge and Compassion”.
