Ellsworth Community College offers three distinct degree programs.
Career/Technical Degrees & Diplomas provide hands-on training in a wide variety of vocational fields.
Associate in Arts Degrees are intended for students who plan to continue their education at a four-year college.
The coursework for these degrees is identical to that offered during the freshman and sophomore years at the three state universities in Iowa; any student who transfers into one of those universities having earned an associate degree will be automatically granted junior (third-year) standing.
The Ellsworth football team has won two NJCAA national championships.
