Format

Schedule and format at Yakima Valley College

• Associate in Nursing (ADN‑DTA/MRP) – RN program (six‑quarter):
• The nursing program is delivered on‑campus at YVC Yakima campus, sequentially following prerequisites (Source: Associate in Nursing program page).
• It is a six‑quarter program offered in fall, winter, and spring quarters, with admission cohorts starting in each of those quarters (fall, winter, spring) depending on applicant sufficiency (Source: Associate in Nursing program page).
• No mention is made of online or hybrid delivery, evening, or weekend classes—delivery appears fully on‑campus and sequential. The format flexibility in terms of modality (online/hybrid) or class times is not stated in the official description.
• The program uses Canvas as the web‑based learning management system for content delivery; students must have a laptop/tablet, webcam, etc. However, it does not specify asynchronous vs synchronous coursework—just that content is delivered via Canvas (Source: Associate in Nursing program page).
• Transfer credit or advanced‑standing:
• Graduates who pass the NCLEX‑RN meet minimum requirements for transfer into Washington State RN‑to‑BSN programs with senior standing (Source: Associate in Nursing program page).
• General transfer policies for YVC (AP, IB, CLEP, military, etc.) apply broadly, though not nursing‑specific—see YV
