Ellsworth Community College is a small, two-year higher education institution located in Iowa Falls, Iowa. It was founded in 1890 by Eugene S. Ellsworth, originally opening as Ellsworth College, and it maintains a modest staff to support accessible postsecondary education in the region. Recent developments reflect a focus on expanding healthcare education through partnerships with larger universities. The college has established nursing articulation arrangements with Iowa State University to support an RN-BSN pathway and has formed a BSN pathway with Minnesota State University, Mankato. These initiatives aim to help nursing students advance their degrees while remaining in the area, contributing to local workforce development.
