Treasure Valley Community College, also known as TVCC in Ontario, Oregon is the perfect choice for students looking to start their academic careers on sound footing. Along with degree courses, there are ample options for those already in the work force who want to take occupation specific courses to increase their knowledge.

The mission of TVCC revolves on the premise that a strong community is the result of educated citizens. The staff firmly believe that families are made stronger by parents who are knowledgeable and self reliant, thus passing on the desire for self reliance on to their children. The staff are commuted to offering support and education to any student who has the drive and desire to educate themselves. This mission is pushed forward by the various associate’s degrees and certificate programs available on campus and online.

The campus is in a small town setting and is firmly middle sized with an average enrolment of 3,000 students yearly. The main campus is located in Ontario with four additional campuses that serve the needs of students far and wide.  In addition to helping students meet their career goals, the college also works closely with the student body to assist with transfers to four year colleges upon completion of current courses. Since the college is a state college, the credit earned can be easily transferred to public four year colleges in the state.

Treasure Valley Community College has an affordable tuition rate that is about $4,500 for in-state students and $4,900 for out of state students. In addition to the affordable rate, the college offers a unique programmed called the cooperative work experience. This program assists those in the certificate programs to secure gainful employment, internships and apprenticeships in the field which they are studying.
