Indian River State College (IRSC) is a public college with a main campus in Fort Pierce, Florida. It is part of the Florida College System and serves the counties of Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee and St. Lucie on the Treasure Coast region of Florida.
The college was established in 1959 as Indian River Junior College and located in a former public school building in Fort Pierce. IRJC moved to its currt main campus on Virginia Avue in 1963 after the city of Fort Pierce donated the site to the institution. In 1970, the board of trustees decided a name more fitting of the college's service to the community was needed, and it was ramed Indian River Community College. This was in keeping with the national trd for public junior colleges to drop the word junior in favor of 'Community. Within the confines of the college, the school is called The River or 'the ersk', pronouncing the school's acronym, IRSC. The school's mascot is the Pioneer.
On 10 September 2007, IRCC's board of trustees voted unanimously to change the college's name to Indian River College, as it began its transition into a four-year institution. The name change needed to be acted into law by the Florida Legislature.
