About

Ashland Community and Technical College, located in Ashland, Kentucky, was founded in 1938 and was originally two separate institutions, Ashland Junior College and Ashland Vocational School. The two schools went through a variety of changes in name and focus, with Ashland Junior College becoming part of the University of Kentucky through a mandate given to the university to form the Community College System.  The two school were merged in 1997 through Higher Education Act which also created the Kentucky Community and Technical Colleges System, replacing the Community College System as the primary body for overseeing the management of two year institutions in the state.

 

Academics

Ashland Community and Technical College offers a variety of programs that assist students in achieving academic transfer or allowing them to develop skills useful in career building through a technical program. Students pursuing academic transfer will take on a curriculum that mirrors the first two years of a four year education. Upon completion, students will choose the school they wish to transfer to and begin the application process, and once accepted will complete the final two years, earning their bachelor's degree. Students pursuing career or technical training will receive an education in the chosen industry or field that allows for a long term career and entry into the workforce as a qualified professional. Programs take between one and two years to complete and result in a degree or certificate upon completion.

  • Ashland has been a good experience for me so far. The campus is small and friendly so I'm not overwhelmed by attending a huge campus. I like the teachers and I feel like I'm getting good preparation to transfer to a 4-year.
