Owensboro Community & Technical College is a public, two year community and technical college accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), and one of the sixteen colleges that make up the Kentucky Community & Technical College System (KCTCS). Owensboro Community & Technical College serves the four county areas of Daviess, Ohio, Hancock and McLean, and draws a strong base of students from Perry and Spencer counties in Indiana. Its 2009 enrollment of more than 6,000, however, includes students from many other counties in Kentucky and Indiana who were attracted by its Advanced Technology Center and other distinctive programs. The college values innovation focused on student learning and economic trends as evidenced by the creation of the Biotechnology program which lends support to the emerging plant-based biotech industry and the Cancer Research Center in Owensboro. Its Mechatronics program supports local industry and the STEM initiatives in local schools. A grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation gave support to an innovative nursing program for working adults, and funds from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation supports the Breaking Through initiative for underserved and underskilled young adults. The college encourages its graduates to continue their academic studies and has one of the highest transfer rates to baccalaureate institutions in the state.
