CRNA programs in Alabama

Alabama has 3 accredited nurse anesthesia (CRNA) programs: Samford University Nurse Anesthesia Program, University of Alabama Birmingham Nurse Anesthesia, University of Mobile Nurse Anesthesia Program.

Minimum GPA requirements at Alabama CRNA programs range from about 3. Competitive applicants usually exceed the stated minimum, so aim for a 3.5+ cumulative and science GPA where you can. Boost scores your GPA against every program's real bar.

3 of the 3 programs list a GRE requirement, and 1 of them states a CCRN requirement in the data we've verified. The CCRN isn't a COA accreditation requirement — the COA asks for a nursing degree, an unencumbered RN license and a year of critical-care experience — so programs differ on whether they ask for it. Requirements change by cycle — verify each program's page for the current cycle.

Listed minimums range from 11–12 months of adult ICU experience, though most competitive applicants bring 2+ years in a high-acuity unit. Boost tracks your ICU months against each program's requirement.

Total tuition at Alabama programs runs roughly $101k–$108k, before living costs and fees. Public/in-state programs tend to sit at the low end. See each program's page for its full cost of attendance.
