Caldwell Center

Treasure Valley Community College
Caldwell, Idaho Center

New TVCC Caldwell Center has been completed on the banks of Indian Creek. The new building opened for classes on Sept. 20, 2010.

In its sixth year of offering a growing range of academic classes, TVCC's Caldwell Center has grown to a Fall '10 enrollment of more than 820 students. TVCC's new Caldwell Center is located on the banks of Indian Creek in downtown Caldwell, at 205 S. 6th Ave - at the intersection of Blaine and 6th. The Student Services office is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily, with available college placement and academic advising services. Office of Admission staff can be contacted during office hours at (208) 454-9911 or by e-mailing the Director, Kathleen Robinson, PhD at krobinson@tvcc.cc.

Current quarterly class offerings include core general education courses in Math, Science, English, History, Sociology and Art as well as Early Childhood Education, Computer Science, Business and Education. As a low-cost alternative to the first two years of a university education, many Caldwell Center students participate in a 2-year block transfer program which enables them to enroll with junior class standing at 4-year institutions in Idaho and Oregon.

Increasing numbers of TVCC students are also enrolled in one and two-year degree programs associated with certification in varied trades and technical careers. TVCC's courses in Automated Office Training Program, One Year Emergency Medical or Electrical Apprenticeship Program are examples of specialized training courses leading to high demand occupations in the Treasure Valley.

Fall 2011-2012 tuition fees for the diverse courses offered at the TVCC Caldwell Center are $99 per credit unit (plus $10 universal fee and $4 student fee) - an amount almost half the cost per credit at surrounding post secondary institutions in the Treasure Valley. Affordable, quality education is a key component of the school's mission to meet the educational needs of students from surrounding Idaho and Oregon communities. To further assist students with financial matters, the Caldwell Center provides on-line access to student scholarship and federal Financial Aid applications.
