Where we foster excellence in education that challenges students of every background to develop their intellect, character, and abilities; to assist students in achieving their educational and career goals; and to be responsive to the greater community.
Accreditation is a rigorous process that confirms the quality and integrity of an institution. It ensures that colleges meet nationally recognized standards of educational excellence, giving students and the public confidence that course credits, associate degrees, and certificates will be accepted for transfer and recognized by employers. Accreditation also affirms that IVC continues to improve through self-reflection and accountability—demonstrating a deep commitment to student success and community impact since its first accreditation in 1962.
