The story

In 1970, Oppland College (Norwegian: Oppland distriktshøgskole) was established in Lillehammer, at the site of a defunct agricultural college. The college was transformed into the Lillehammer University College in 1994, in connection with the university college reform. It was located in the television and radio center built for the 1994 Winter Olympic Games, and offered undergraduate programs in travel and tourism, business administration, organisation and management, film and television, health and social work, humanities and social sciences, and graduate programs in education, social policy, health and social work for children and youth, social welfare, and film and television science.

From 1 January 2017, the Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences began operations on six campuses in south-eastern Norway: Lillehammer, Hamar, Blæstad, Elverum, Rena and Evenstad.
