School Notes
Founded in 1970, Inver Hills is a comprehensive community college
offering over 20 degree options including liberal education courses
(A.A.) that lead to transfer to four-year colleges and
career-related degrees (A.S., A.A.S.) in leading occupational areas
such as nursing, computers, law enforcement, human services,
business, emergency health care, and more. The 90-acre campus
includes eight modern buildings that fit naturally into the
surrounding wooded hills and wetlands. The campus is located just
off Highway 52 at 80th Street in Inver Grove Heights. More than
1,200 course sections are scheduled each year in 50 academic
disciplines. About half meet evenings, late afternoons, and
weekends so working people can attend. Traditionally about half of
Inver Hills students are working adults and part-time learners.
With distinctive architecture and separate buildings, the campus
has a small-college look and feel about it. The physical setting
seems a natural complement to the college's student-centered
philosophy and emphasis on academic support, learning assistance,
and personal development.
