Virginia Commonwealth University’s Department of Nurse Anesthesia is currently ranked as “Best in the Nation” by U.S. News & World Report, a designation it has proudly held for the last 4 years. All CRNA educational programs at a minimum grant the Masters Degree credential, as national entry to nurse anesthesia practice is currently at the graduate level. VCU is among those at the forefront now offering graduate students an optional clinical doctorate, the Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice degree.
