How We Source Our Data

We maintain a database of ~140 accredited CRNA programs across the United States. Here's how we keep it accurate — and what to do if you spot something wrong.

Where our data comes from

We pull program information from three sources:

  1. Official program websites — Tuition, GPA requirements, prerequisites, application deadlines, and admissions criteria come directly from each program's public website and admissions materials.
  2. The Council on Accreditation (COA) — Accreditation status, NCE pass rates, and attrition rates come from COA's publicly available reports.
  3. Community corrections — Our members are actively applying to these programs. When someone notices outdated information — a deadline that moved, a prerequisite that changed, a tuition increase — they let us know and we verify and update it.

How often we update

We do a full review of every program in our database three times a year. Between those reviews, we make updates as they come in from community reports or when we spot changes ourselves.

Programs change things. A lot. Deadlines shift, requirements get added or dropped, tuition goes up. We do our best to stay current, but we're a small team and there are 140+ programs to track.

We make mistakes

We're real people, not a scraping bot. Sometimes we miss an update. Sometimes a program changes something and doesn't make it obvious on their website. If you're relying on any data point for a real application decision — GPA minimums, prerequisite courses, deadlines — please verify it directly on the program's website.

We link to every program's official site for exactly this reason.

Found an error?

If something looks wrong, please tell us. Seriously — our members catch things we miss all the time, and it makes the database better for everyone. You can report an error through the app or email us at support@thecrnaclub.com.

We'll verify it and update our records. If it's a significant change, we'll flag it across any content that references that program.
