About Owens Community College
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 Ohio Board of Regents chartered the College as a technical college. In 1983, Owens Community College opened its Findlay-area Campus at Cory and Davis streets in Findlay, Ohio.
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. Since then, the College has emerged as a leader in higher education due to skyrocketing
enrollment, expanding program choices and new, state-of-the-art facilities.
With 24 consecutive semesters of enrollment growth, the number of students served by the College has more than doubled since 1994. This academic year, the College has added a Fine and Performing Arts curriculum with 19 new program areas.
The Center for Fine and Performing Arts represents the sixth new building added to the Toledo-area Campus since 1994, joining the Fire Science/Law Enforcement Center, Library, Audio/Visual Classroom Center, Math/Science Center and Student Health and Activities Center.

Owens Community College students come from all walks of life. Some students register right out of high school. Other students are older, having taken a break from school to start or raise a family. Still other students are transfer students from another college or university. And there are some student who return to school to increase their job skills.
Each and every one of our students has a different story, a different life circumstance. In fact, it’s a safe bet that no two stories are alike. That’s OK. Owens Community College faculty and staff members celebrate diversity and work diligently to help all students achieve their varied goals.
We partner with business and industry leaders, local government officials and community organizations to ensure that we maintain high-quality standards. We tap their resources with you – the student – in mind.
Owens Community College wants to produce well-rounded, educated students who make northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan a better place to work and live. A majority of our students live and work here, and so do a majority of our more than 20,500 alumni. We live and work here, too – so we also have a vested interest to offer quality programs and top-notch instruction. Many faculty members bring real-world experiences into the classroom and more than 80 percent of the full-time faculty has advanced degrees. Besides traditional instructional methods, Owens Community College is committed to alternative learning avenues such as the highly popular web courses and telecourses. For students who need a little extra assistance with their studies, we offer tutoring services and labs that will help with writing, math, reading, test-taking skills and more.
Outside of academics, Owens Community College features many recreational activities through the Student Health and Activities Center. Affectionately known as the SHAC, this facility is a great place to work out or get involved by joining one of the many student activity groups or clubs.
And it all comes at a cost unmatched by any other college or university in northwest Ohio. Make Owens Community College your choice for a higher education!
