• Acceptance rate (# admitted)

Format

Schedule and format at Sierra College

• – Delivery format for nursing (Registered Nursing ADN Program):
• The Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) Program is described as a two‑year, full‑time program, with no mention of part‑time, evening, weekend, or cohort start date flexibility.
• Clinical practice may occur days, evenings, nights, and weekends, assigned by nursing faculty.
• – Online, hybrid, or on‑campus delivery for nursing:
• The ADN nursing program page does not specify if courses are offered in online or hybrid formats; it appears to be an in‑person, campus‑based program.
• In contrast, the broader college “Distance Learning” page confirms that Sierra College overall offers fully online, hybrid, and web‑enhanced courses—but does not explicitly mention nursing courses in that context.
• – Evening, weekend, or multiple cohort start options:
• No explicit mention of evening or weekend class schedules apart from clinical practice. No reference to multiple cohort starts, other than cohort size and selection process.
• – Asynchronous vs synchronous coursework for nursing:
• The program information
