Yakima Valley College is enrolling now for winter quarter 2025. The deadline for degree- and certificate-seeking students to apply is November 25. The quarter starts January 6, 2025.

YVC offers more than 55 degrees and 100 certificates including five bachelor of applied science programs. Our students can enroll in programs in adult basic education, English Language Acquisition, lower division arts and sciences, professional and technical education, and personal enrichment. With our many academic options, students can earn the training, degree or certificate they need to get a great job or earn credits that transfer to a four-year university.

We offer flexible schedules and small class sizes in state-of-the-art facilities — along with numerous resources to help students in the Yakima Valley succeed!

Among the college’s offerings in winter quarter 2025 will be an array of courses in YVC’s business administration program, which are designed for individuals wanting to pursue various careers in the business and accounting industries — including agribusiness, management, marketing and sales. Another popular option is anthropology, enabling students to understand how people from different cultures live and behave and how we interact with each other. Whatever your path, Yakima Valley College is a great place to start.

Are you the first in your family to go to college? You’re not alone — 75% of YVC’s students are first-generation college students.

Generous financial aid is available through free federal and state applications (the FAFSA and WASFA, respectively) — including awards for undocumented students. Scholarships are also available through the YVC Foundation along with other local and state grant and scholarship programs. Special funding and work study programs are also available.

Senior citizens, 60 years of age or older, who are Washington state residents can take advantage of the Gold Card Program at YVC. This program allows seniors to attend state supported classes at a reduced cost on a space-available basis. Gold Card participants may enroll on the third day of the quarter or when the class has met at least once, whichever is later.
