What Treasure Valley Community College does

Treasure Valley Community College (TVCC) is a public community college founded in 1962 and headquartered in Ontario, Oregon, serving Eastern Oregon and Western Idaho. It operates a 90-acre main campus with 14 major buildings, a regional center in Caldwell, Idaho, a Harney County outreach site in Burns, Oregon, and educational programs delivered under contract at five Oregon Department of Corrections facilities. TVCC enrolls more than 3,000 students annually across 80+ academic programs, including transfer degrees (AAOT, ASOT), career-technical Associate of Applied Science degrees, certificates, and dual-credit pathways, with notable specializations in Aviation Science (fixed-wing and helicopter) and Nursing and Allied Health.

The college generates revenue through a hybrid model combining student tuition and fees, state appropriations from Oregon, local levy support, grants, and donations to the affiliated TVCC Foundation (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit). Oregon resident tuition is $120 per credit, with separate tiers for out-of-state, online, Caldwell Center, and international students. Distribution occurs through physical campuses, online and distance education channels, and corrections education contracts. TVCC has been continuously accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) since 1966, with program-specific accreditations from ACEN, the Oregon State Board of Nursing, and the Oregon Health Authority.

The institution is currently undertaking a material capital expansion through the construction of a 30,000-square-foot Nursing & Allied Health Professions Center, supported by $5 million in Oregon state matching funds. Strategic priorities under President Dr. Dana Young's 2025-2030 Strategic Plan emphasize enrollment growth, public image enhancement, diversity, and campus safety. TVCC has formal transfer partnerships with 12+ four-year universities including Oregon State University, University of Oregon, Boise State University, and University of Idaho, plus industry partnerships with SkyWest Airlines and Silverhawk Aviation Academy that create direct workforce pipelines in aviation and healthcare.
