School Notes
Washington State Community College is a state-assisted,
two-year comprehensive community college offering over 50 programs
of study. The designated service area of the College includes
Washington and Morgan Counties, but a significant number of
students from across southeastern Ohio and nearby counties in West
Virginia also are enrolled. The College was founded in 1971 as
Washington Technical Institute with its one building campus located
on St. Rt. 676 in Marietta. In 1972 the name became Washington
Technical College as part of a reorganization of Ohio's higher
education system. In 1991, the College was re-chartered as
Washington State Community College and at the same time relocated
to its current campus at 710 Colegate Drive in Marietta. The
Washington State campus, which opened with one building in 1991,
has grown to include six structures: the Main Building, Arts &
Sciences Center, Carson K. Miller Library, Center for Business and
Technology, Evergreen Child Development Center, and a maintenance
building. The College occupies nearly 155 acres of wooded land. In
2004, the College created a master plan for campus growth with a
vision for addition of a conference center, an Appalachian arts
center with an amphitheater, and a health sciences building, as
well as improvements to the campus entrances and parking. The
College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commisions and offers
transfer programs as well as applied/technical programs in
business, engineering/industrial technologies, health sciences, and
public services.
