Do you help your graduates find employment?

How much the HIT program cost?
Tuition is $105 per credit hour (in-state and online tuition) at Indian Hills and HIT students average 12 credits per term. You should anticipate that books would add another $200-$300 to the total.
Am I eligible for financial aid?
Yes. As long as you are taking at least four credits you may be eligible for financial aid. Indian Hills also has foundation scholarships for which you may apply. Your first step in getting financial aid begins at www.fafsa.org.
Can I take the entire HIT program online?
Yes, all of the courses in the HIT program are offered online. However, you are required to go to several different health care facilities for your professional practice experiences.
Is the HIT program at Indian Hills accredited?
Yes, our HIT program is fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM). Indian Hills Community College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.
What makes your program unique?
Our program is unique in a couple of respects. First, in 2005, we redesigned our curriculum, placing an emphasis on the types of courses students need to succeed in a field that is increasingly high-tech. Second, we built in a lot of flexibility into our program so students have greater freedom to take the general education courses that target their career interests -- no more "required" general psychology; take a social science that interests you or fits in with your career plans. The same concept applies to math and computers.
What online resources do you have for students?
Our students benefit from online registration, grades, library resources, and much more.
