About This School

Inver Hills Community College is a public institution located in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota with approximately 2,203 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $10,651 per year. Typical graduates earn $43,800 within 10 years of enrollment.

Inver Hills Community College is a public community college in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota. Founded in 1970, the college is part of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System. The 90-acre (36 ha) campus consists of nine buildings. Inver Hills has more than 4,000 students per semester and the college offers 27 degree associate programs in liberal education as well as career-related degrees.

Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low while building toward a career or transfer path — at just $10,651/year net price and a median debt of only $9,315 at graduation, this school is genuinely affordable. The trade-off is that median earnings sit at $43,800 a decade out, which is modest but reasonable given that many students use community college as a stepping stone rather than a final destination. If your goal is an affordable first two years before transferring to a four-year school, this is a practical, low-risk choice.
