IOWA FALLS | What would a college have to do to impress you? Once you find out what’s waiting for you at Ellsworth Community College, we’re betting you’ll want to take an even closer look!
If graduating or transferring your credits are important (and they ARE important, of course!), you need to know that CNNMoney.com has ranked Ellsworth Community College as having the 19th highest student success rate (graduation rate + transfer rate) in the entire nation. More than 70 percent of Ellsworth students take their freshman and sophomore courses at ECC and then transfer to a four-year institution to complete a bachelor’s degree, saving thousands of dollars.
At ECC it’s not just about transferability of courses, it’s also about quality of instruction. As just one example, our most recent class of Associate Degree Nursing (RN) graduates who took the Iowa board exams for their nursing licenses scored 100 percent on their state exams (the state average is 82.28 percent) for the third year in a row — virtually unheard of. If you’re interested in a nursing degree, we encourage you to compare these results with other colleges!

• Ellsworth’s enrollment is about 1,100 students, which means we’re a small college where you’ll make friends quickly, know your instructors personally, and feel right at home.
• We offer more than 70 degree programs, with classes held both on campus and online. In fact, our transferrable liberal arts Associate in Arts degree can be completed entirely online, a huge benefit for students who also work full- or part-time.
