Licensed Vocational Nursing program

Our LVN program is undergoing revision more Information to come Fall of 2025.

Please review the following Information:

Note: Online/Home Biology Labs are normally NOT accepted, however; due to COVID-19 online labs will be accepted from Spring 2020 to Spring 2022. The sciences must be from a public community college or a 4-year university.

Policy for Selection of the LVN class cohort:

Applications and all required documents must by completed by the application deadline to be considered.
US military and veterans will be admitted as a priority if they meet all of the qualifications required.
If there are more qualified applicants than the number of slots available for the cohort then students are chosen by random lottery.
Any qualified applicants that are not chosen in the lottery will need to reapply during the next application period.

Recommendation: Highly recommended to have CNA, MA, or EMT experience.

**Students interested in ultimately pursuing a Registered Nursing degree should consider taking Anatomy and Physiology as separate courses (Bio7 and Bio9) as a combined Anatomy & Physiology (Bio15) course will not fulfill the prerequisite requirement to apply to RN programs.
