Classroom Instruction
Undergraduate Courses
Spokane students participate in-person in classroom instruction, with Yakima and Tri-Cities students joining in via Zoom. All simulation and clinical experiences are completed in-person with faculty.
Graduate Courses
Class sessions are delivered by two-way videoconferencing, allowing for maximum interaction with the instructor and students from all participating campus sites.
The program is considered hybrid, with most of the instruction offered online and some on-campus attendance for lab sessions. Students should expect to be on-campus or via videoconferencing a minimum of five times per semester, per class.
In-person class sessions typically are block-scheduled in a 1-2 day block – one of the class sessions, for example, might be scheduled on a Monday/Tuesday. These blocked days may vary each semester. Some nurse practitioner courses require lab intensives that are scheduled separately from typical block scheduling.
