Every nurse anesthesia student is required to complete and defend a thesis by the end of the program. The student will begin with a proposal and progress through research design, literature search, implementation of the research project, and developing presentation of data from the research.
Throughout the program students are registered for BIOL 6310, 6320, 6330, 6340, 6350, and 6360 Research/Thesis Project I, II, III, IV, V, VI (1 credit hour each). The design of the course is progressive, culminating in a master's thesis/research project. It provides the opportunity to do research under the direction of a Webster University faculty member.
