Admissions at El Centro College

• No official acceptance or admission rate (%) for the nursing program was located on El Centro College’s website or other official .edu sources. An open admissions policy applies to general college admission, but no nursing‑specific acceptance rate is published.
• For the Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) program:
• Applicants must complete three prerequisite courses (ENGL 1301; SCIT 1407 or BIOL 2401; PSYC 2301) with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50 on those courses.
• Applicants must take specific sections of the HESI A2 Test—Reading Comprehension, Grammar, Vocabulary/General Knowledge, Math, and Anatomy/Physiology—and achieve a minimum score of 70% on each section. The Personality Profile and Learning Styles sections must also be completed (not scored).
• Admission is competitive and based on a point‑award ranking system, with eligibility ranging from a minimum of 3 points to a maximum of 40 points, derived from criteria including prerequisite GPA, HESI A2 scores, HPRS courses, support courses, and courses toward BSN articulation.

Schedule and format at El Centro College

• Here’s what I found regarding schedule and format flexibility in the El Centro College (Dallas College – El Centro) nursing programs, based only on documented, citable sources. Some areas remain unclear based on available official information.
• Nursing classes are delivered on-campus, as the Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) is a traditional clinical program. There is no online or hybrid version of the ADN available, and no online bachelor’s in nursing is offered by El Centro College.
• The ADN program is structured over four, 16-week semesters totaling approximately 60 credit hours, combining lecture, lab, and clinical hours.
• Clinical experiences may occur during daytime, evening, and weekend hours, as determined by a lottery system.
• A sample syllabus for “Nursing Pathophysiology (RNSG 1311)” shows fully asynchronous online delivery, with weekly content released at 8 am Monday and due by Sunday 11:59 pm; the course is accessible via Blackboard 24/7 and has no required days on campus.
• Start-term flexibility (multiple cohort starts) such as evening or weekend cohorts is not clearly documented in official sources. The program typically admits students for Fall and Spring semesters, but no explicit mention of multiple cohort starts or evening-only cohorts was found.
• Regarding asynchronous vs. synchronous coursework, the provided syllabus for RNSG 1311 indicates an asynchronous format. Howeve
