Yakima Valley Community College (YVCC), located in Yakima, Washington, is a public, two-year institution that has been serving students since its establishment in 1928. Positioned near the heart of Washington?s agricultural hub and approximately 142 miles southeast of Seattle, YVCC offers a campus that reflects the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. The college provides an array of academic programs with a notable emphasis on health sciences, business, and vocational education. YVCC maintains a noncompetitive application process and primarily serves students from local and surrounding communities. The campus infrastructure includes options for student housing, accommodating those who wish to reside on or near the campus during their studies. YVCC does not have a high-profile athletic program and thus intercollegiate sports are not a central aspect of college life.
Yakima Valley Community College has an open admission policy which permits enrollment by any high school graduate or GED holding student. 2,119 students are enrolled on a full time basis, and 1,160 attend part time. In-state tuition for 2022/2023, excluding room and board, is $4,458 plus fees of $540.
