Program Notes
A planned Master of Health Science in Anesthesia at Burrell's Melbourne, Florida campus. Burrell, renamed the Burrell College of Health Sciences in June 2026 after earning Higher Learning Commission accreditation in June 2025, told the Las Cruces Bulletin in August 2026 that it plans to enroll the first class in January 2028, that the program has HLC approval and has submitted its accreditation self-study with a site visit expected in spring 2027, and that classroom and simulation training will be based in Melbourne with clinical sites in Florida, New Mexico, and El Paso. An earlier expected start of fall 2026 has been superseded. As of September 2026 Burrell's Florida campus page no longer describes the program, there is no program or admissions page, and it is not in CASAA. A third-party tracker lists 28 months and 25 seats. Length, deadline, tests, prerequisites, and tuition are blank here because Burrell has published none of them.
