Indian Hills Community College (IHCC) is a public community college in Iowa with campuses in Ottumwa and Centerville. IHCC serves both traditional residential students and commuter students, primarily from a ten-county area in southeast Iowa as well as portions of northern Missouri. This regional service area includes the cities of Ottumwa, Centerville, Oskalossa, Fairfield, Albia, Bloomfield, and Chariton. IHCC is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.
Worth considering if you're in southeast Iowa and want an affordable path to a credential — at just $7,492/year net price and a median debt of only $7,125 at graduation, the financial risk here is genuinely low. That said, median earnings of $34,800 a decade out suggest this is a solid launchpad rather than a destination, so think carefully about whether your target career pays enough to make the next step — a transfer or additional training — worth planning for from day one.
