The community and technical college system consists of 28 community colleges, 5 technical colleges, and 1 vocational institute. The 34 two-year educational entities are aggregated into 30 districts. The system provides postsecondary education services in three broad categories: academic transfer, vocational training, and basic skills development. These services are provided at more than 500 locations throughout the state. The system is governed by the nine member State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC). Each of the 30 districts has a local governing board of five trustees.

Goals for the system are to: provide access at a reasonable cost to the learning necessary for an individual to participate effectively in society; provide for the educational needs of students and the community; and provide a management structure which encourages flexibility, responsiveness, and efficiency.

Return to Top

The Instruction program includes state supported and contracted education programs in the system's three broad mission categories of academic transfer, vocational training, and basic skills. The academic transfer activity includes formal course work which a student may transfer to a four-year institution, as well as academic work related to vocational programs. The vocational activity includes formal classroom training, "hands on instruction," and apprenticeship programs. The basic skills activity provides adult basic education, developmental course work, English as a second language, and citizenship programs.

Objectives are to: provide educational services to 117,000 full-time equivalent students each year; grant 10,800 associate degrees each year; transfer 12,620 students to four-year institutions each year; and improve the quality and quantity of instructional equipment.
