Minnesota North College is a public community college composed of six campuses in northeast Minnesota: Hibbing campus, Itasca Campus, Mesabi Range - Eveleth, Mesabi Range - Virginia, Vermilion (Ely) and Rainy River. It is a member of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system and was formed in 2022 by merging five independent community colleges of Hibbing Community College, Itasca Community College, Mesabi Range College, Vermilion Community College, and Rainy River Community College on six campuses in northeastern Minnesota:
This newly merged community college system, spread across six northeast Minnesota campuses, offers a genuinely affordable path to a two-year degree — median debt at graduation is just $8,694, which is low by any measure. Worth considering if you're looking to start local, keep costs down, or transfer to a four-year school, especially given the $10,636 average net price. That said, median earnings of $39,900 a decade out are modest, so think carefully about your specific program and career goals before assuming the credential alone will move the needle financially.
