Imperial Valley College

In 1962, a handful of people gathered on a 160-acre plot of land in Imperial, CA. It was the first day of classes for what would become Imperial Valley College. Today, 9,000 students learn across dozens of degree, certificate and career education programs each semester. Over the past decade, Imperial Valley College has continued major modernization programs, including construction of state-of-the-art Career Education buildings and labs, and establishment of innovative educational partnerships.
