College Mission
Learn, discover, and build a better future: Inver Hills is dedicated to the power and promise of education.
College Vision
At Inver Hills, we aspire to create a transformational education for every student founded on belonging, learning, support, clear pathways, and community engagement.
Students at Inver Hills will say of their education:
- Belonging: “I am valued for who I am.”
- Learning: “I am engaged in meaningful learning.”
- Support: “I have the support I need.”
- Clear Pathways: “I know where I am going and how to get there.”
- Community Engagement: “I am engaged in community.”
College Values
- Student Centered: We recognize and build on students’ strengths and perspectives. We support them in taking an active role in their learning and in navigating our college. We provide inclusive, high-quality, and timely services. We also design our services and programs with our diverse students’ needs in mind.
- Equity Minded: We take responsibility for creating an inclusive learning and working environment where our students and colleagues can thrive. We identify and address patterns of inequity, informed by a social and historical understanding of exclusionary practices in American higher education.
- Community Engaged: We collaborate with employers, educational institutions, and community organizations to enhance our respective missions and strengthen our communities.

Inver Hills had a reaffirmation of accreditation visit from HLC in April 2017, and in August 2017 received their reaffirmation of accreditation through 2026-27. Inver Hills is on the Open Pathway, with a 10-year accreditation cycle.

In addition to our institutional accreditation with HLC, multiple programs at each college have third- party accreditation for their program. This additional layer of accountability provides students assurance that their program is meeting requirements for licensure in specialized fields and/or provides employers with assurance that program graduates possess the required knowledge, skills and abilities to work in their field post-graduation. Third-party accreditors, like HLC, are seeking evidence that the program is meeting their standards.
