Rainy River Community College

Overview

Rainy River Community College (RRCC), nestled in the scenic backdrop of International Falls, Minnesota, offers a blend of comprehensive educational programs and a tranquil campus environment. Established in 1967, the college provides an assortment of academic pathways, including a variety of liberal arts, science, and vocational-technical programs, with Nursing and Natural Sciences being among the popular fields of study. As a two-year institution, RRCC does not present a highly competitive admissions process, priding itself on inclusive education that is accessible to a diverse student body. The campus, set in a rural area close to the Canadian border and the wilderness of Voyageurs National Park, is characterized by a close-knit community atmosphere conducive to personalized learning experiences. On-campus housing is available to students seeking a residential college experience. While RRCC doesn't prominently feature an athletics program, it does provide fitness and recreational facilities for student use.

Rainy River Community College has an open admission policy which permits enrollment by any high school graduate or GED holding student.  146 students are enrolled on a full time basis, and 33 attend part time. In-state tuition for 2022/2023, excluding room and board, is $5,192 plus fees of $596.
