TCU provides online education and clinical experiences and follows Texas law on distance education and Texas Board of Nursing rules. TCU also must follow the laws of the state where online students live or do clinical work, including that state's nursing board rules. While these requirements vary, TCU is working to get program approval from nursing boards in many states.

TCU graduate nursing and nurse anesthesia programs are currently not authorized to participate in any distance education, including clinical placements, in the following states: Maryland, New York and Tennessee. The states of North Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin have requirements for programs to deliver distance education in their states. 

Contact the School of Nurse Anesthesia if you reside in one of these states and intend to apply for the nurse anesthesia program. 

Please refer to the State Authorization and Reciprocity Agreement and contact the program director at r.ward@tcu.edu with additional questions.
