Hybrid CRNA programs
Hybrid is the norm in nurse anesthesia, not a special category: 127 of the 149 programs that publish a delivery format describe themselves as hybrid. It also does not mean what most applicants hope. Hybrid means some didactic coursework is delivered online — clinical hours are in person, full time, and at sites the program assigns. If you specifically want a fully in-person program, those are the scarcer option and they are listed first below.
The 22 fully in-person programs
Every class session on campus. Worth seeking out if you learn better in a room, or avoiding if relocation is the constraint — hybrid programs still require you to be local to your clinical sites either way.

Hybrid CRNA programs — FAQ
No — not in the sense of a degree you can complete remotely. Nurse anesthesia requires thousands of supervised clinical hours with real patients, so no accredited program is fully online. What exists is hybrid delivery, where part of the didactic coursework is remote and all clinical training is in person and full time.
Typically that lectures and some coursework happen online — synchronously or recorded — while labs, simulation, and every clinical rotation are on site. 127 of the 149 programs publishing a format describe themselves as hybrid. The clinical load is identical to an in-person program.
Generally no. Hybrid affects where you attend lecture, not the clinical schedule, and full-time clinical rotations plus call leave little room for outside employment. Many programs restrict or prohibit work during clinical phases regardless of format.
