Do you know that nearly 50 percent of all undergraduate college students begin their studies at a two-year college? Two-year colleges offer:

• Academic Excellence

• Quality Faculty and Staff

• Affordable Cost

• Classes Close to Home

• Variety of Programs

• Outstanding Support Services (Financial Aid, Counseling, Tutoring, etc.)

• Personal Attention

• State-of-the-Art Equipment and Facilities

• Caring Environment

• Small Classes

• Collegiate Environment (Student Clubs, Activities, and Sports)

• Ability to Transfer Credits

• Programs Accredited by North Central Association of Colleges and Schools

Ohio’s two-year college system is made up of 23 state-assisted and locally autonomous technical and community colleges. In recent years, over 200,000 students have enrolled in college credit courses at these institutions throughout Ohio.

Two-year colleges consist of three types: technical, state community, and community. Technical colleges provide hands-on education in a specific field. Many technical college graduates transfer to baccalaureate programs. Both state community and community colleges offer technical programs and university parallel programs providing students with a variety of options.

Students who choose to begin their college careers at a two-year college cite quality of education and reasonable cost as the main benefits. Completing the first two years of a bachelor’s degree at a two- year college can save the student several thousand dollars. A variety of technical, career-oriented degrees offered by two-year colleges can lead to employment immediately after the student completes his/her associate degree.

This guide provides an up-to-date directory of programs and services offered by Ohio’s system of technical and community colleges. We hope you find it helpful!
