Admissions

Admissions at Virginia Western Community College

Moderately Competitive.

• No published acceptance or admission rate (%) was found on official .edu pages; the college states that in 2025 “there were over 90 qualified applicants considered,” but does not report an explicit acceptance percentage.
• Minimum cumulative GPA requirement: applicants must have a GPA of at least 2.5, based on the most recent institution where at least 12 college credit hours were completed.
• Prerequisite GPA requirement: GPA must be ≥ 2.5, calculated from grades in BIO 141, ENG 111, PSY 230, and SDV 101 (2-credit) — each must be completed with a “C” or higher. Note: earning a “C” in each prerequisite results in a prerequisite GPA of only 2.0, which is insufficient.

Schedule and format at Virginia Western Community College

• No indication is found that the AAS Nursing program is offered fully online or in a hybrid format. Coursework—especially lectures and skills labs—is held during daytime hours only. Clinical experiences may occur during the day, evenings, or weekends (some weekend hours), with many being 12-hour shifts. Source: Virginia Western FAQ (“Lectures and assigned skills labs are held during daytime hours only. You should expect clinical experiences to be either 6 hours (day) or 12 hours (day/evening and some weekend). Most are 12 hours.”)
• Asynchronous vs. synchronous coursework is not explicitly described. Given that lectures, labs, and clinicals are scheduled in fixed time blocks (daytime, evenings, weekends), it appears that instruction is synchronous (i.e., real-time), but the school does not explicitly use the terms “synchronous” or “asynchronous.” Source: same as above
• No mention of evening-only programs or weekend-only cohorts; lectures and labs are daytime only, with clinicals occasionally scheduled in evenings or weekends as needed. Source: same as above
• There is a bridge/advanced‑placement LPN-to‑RN (AAS) option: LPNs admitted to the AAS Nursing program who meet prerequisites may take summer bridge courses and then begin sophomore-level nursing coursework, completing the AAS degree in approximately two-and-a-half semesters (i.e., within one academic year).
