Nestled in majestic pines, the campus is surrounded by award-winning landscaping, with enclosed walkways linking buildings. Students can start almost any bachelor's degree here, from accounting and business to elementary education. Small class size assures personal attention and a comfortable transition from high school to college, and credits easily transfer to four-year schools. In addition, we offer 12 career programs that can be completed in two years or less. We are the only two-year college, partnering with Bemidji State University, to offer the Class Act Program, which gives aspiring teachers the opportunity to student teach while still in high school and during all four years of college.
Extracurricular activities take advantage of the scenic outdoors.
Students can learn and meet new friends through women's and men's intercollegiate and intramural sports, academic organizations and special interest groups. The blue and gold colors of Vermilion Community College in Ely are appropriate for a school with a curriculum that is so representative of the northern outdoors. Under the blue skies and golden rays of the sun, some unique studies are carried out. For many at Vermilion Community College, the wilderness serves as a classroom and laboratory. In addition, Vermilion offers a specialized degree in business and the first two years of many bachelor degree programs designed to transfer to the college or university of the student's choice.
