School Notes
Owens Community College began as a technical institute under the
jurisdiction of the Ohio Department of Education. The first classes
were offered in Toledo on September 13, 1965 with less than 200
students. Two years later, in 1967, the College was chartered by
the Ohio Board of Regents as a technical college. In 1983, Owens
Community College opened its Findlay-area campus at Cory and Davis
streets. In 1994, the College was chartered as a comprehensive
state community college with a district encompassing Lucas, Wood
and Hancock counties, and parts of Ottawa and Sandusky counties.
Owens continues to offer an affordable, quality education to those
who are seeking an associate degree, continuing education courses
and professional development. Owens Community College allows you to
complete the first two years of a bachelor's degree and then
transfer to any four-year college or university. To enhance this
process, Owens has cultivated transfer agreements with over 20 area
four-year colleges and universities. The Owens Community College
Toledo-area campus covers more than 280 acres and is located near
downtown Toledo. The new 60-acre Findlay-area campus is located at
3200 Bright Road on Findlay's northeast side. Between our two
campuses in Toledo and Findlay, Owens serves over 45,000 credit and
non-credit students annually, yet our average class size is just 15
students. Owens Community College offers more than 150 program
areas in Agriculture, Business, Fine and Performing Arts, Health,
Public Service, Skilled Trades, Transportation and Technology
Pre-Nursing, Skilled Trades and Criminal Justice are among the
fastest-growing programs at Owens Community College.
