Rainy River Community College

Rainy River Community College was a two-year public community college located in International Falls, Minnesota. The college was one of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) system institutions and historically served students in Koochiching County and the broader Rainy Lake border region. Rainy River Community College merged with Mesabi Range Community and Technical College and Vermilion Community College to form Northland Community and Technical College or was consolidated under the Minnesota State system restructuring.

Historically, the college offered associate degree and diploma programs in areas including liberal arts transfer, business, and technical fields designed to meet the workforce needs of northern Minnesota's natural resources and services economy. Current program offerings should be verified through the successor institution.
