The Cost of Nurse Anesthetist School

What is the Cost of Nurse Anesthetist School?

Nurse Anesthetist Programs can range from Tuition-Free up to $321,517.

It’s important to note that for CRNA schools that charge out-of-state tuition, the CRNA program will be listed twice; first for the in-state tuition cost and then for the out-of-state tuition cost.

Cost of Nurse Anesthetist School

Nurse anesthetist programs are listed by the Total Cost of the entire program rather than tuition cost by semester or quarter. The total cost listed is a calculation of tuition + fees and expenses incurred over the entire duration of the program. It is based on information available on each school’s website.

The calculation of fees and clinical fees.

It always includes the cost of textbooks and supplies. When schools do not offer an estimate of this cost, I assume a cost of $2,000 for textbooks, as this is fairly average.

It never includes housing, travel or basic living expenses, as those vary a great deal from student to student and that data is not always available on program websites. It also does not include the cost of a computer/ laptop or smartphone (which are often either required or recommended).

Though the calculation of nurse anesthetist programs’ tuition and fees gives you a great idea of how much it will cost you to complete your degree, it does not include every expense you will incur while in one of these nurse anesthetist programs.

Note that the cost of nurse anesthetist school is usually NOT an indicator of the quality of education offered. Rather, it reflects where each school gets its primary funding.

There are many instances where the cheapest schools perform far superior to the more expensive schools.

---

Some students come out two-three years later completely debt-free, while others begin their careers as CRNAs strapped with crippling student loan debt.

… and some who pay top dollar for their education end up not feeling prepared for their new career, while others who pay the lowest price (or get through tuition-free) are the most confident.

Most people make assumptions about school cost that are simply unfounded.

If you want to find a low cost of nurse anesthetist school, paired with excellence in education, you’ll want to search the CRNA School Finder. You’ll find your perfect school in minutes, rather than wasting days or months, and still not getting it right.
