The Master of Sciences in Nursing with a Specialty in Anesthesia is covered by the accreditation of the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Program (COA) until October 31, 2022.

The Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs (COA) requires that all students matriculating into a nurse anesthesia educational program on January 1, 2022, or thereafter, be enrolled in a program approved by the COA to award a practice doctoral degree. Because of this, the administration of the program decided to a voluntary program closure of the masters and will not be accepting students for the 2021-2022 cohort. Nevertheless, the program's administration will evaluate the possibility of submitting to COA a program of Doctorate in Nursing Practice (DNP) with a specialty in Anesthesia in the future.
