Graduate Licensure Disclosure & State Authorization Information
Disclosure Requirements for Academic Programs Leading to Professional Licensure
Licensure Requirements: Each state and territory has different licensure and certification requirements. For states where Texas Christian University (TCU) has presently enrolled students, and for states where prospective students have inquired, TCU has contacted state licensing authorities to confirm that the program meets the educational requirements leading to professional licensure. Other licensure requirements may include professional certification exams, background checks, years of work experience, fingerprinting, etc.
Licensure information is reviewed and updated on this site in May of each year. As of July 1, 2020, we have determined that the TCU School of Nurse Anesthesia’s Program curriculum:
| Meets the requirements in these states and US Territories | Does NOT meet the requirement in these states and US Territories | We have not made a determination if the program curriculum meets the requirements in these states and US Territories |
| Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming | Connecticut | Maryland, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands |
If you intend to practice in any state other than Texas, you should contact the appropriate licensing agency to independently verify whether TCU’s online program satisfies the educational requirements for licensure in a particular state before beginning TCU’s program. Be aware that state licensure requirements may change from time-to-time and that states may have conditions for licensure in addition to educational requirements. The following site contains links to state licensing boards in nursing https://www.ncsbn.org/contact-bon.htm.
If you relocate during the course of the program to another state, it may impact whether you can continue in the program and meet eligibility requirements, and/or receive financial aid funding. If you are considering relocating, you should contact the graduate program office at CRNA@tcu.edu.
