History

Big Sandy Community and Technical College is one of 16 2 year open enrollment colleges in the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS). Formerly two separate institutions, the Prestonburg Community College and Mayo Technical College were merged in 2003. Since then two additional campuses have been added.

The four campuses are located in Prestonburg, Paintsville, Pikesville, and Hager Hill. Individuals within the school's service area may also apply to the nearby schools of HCTC (Hazard Community and Technical College) and ACTC (Ashland Community and Technical College).

Academics

BSCTC offers associate's degree programs which take two years alongside shorter technical programs for certificates. BSCTC offers a wide range of classes and programs during the daytime, evening and weekends. The goal of the school is to assist students in achieving their goals.

Individuals working toward academic transfer will complete the first two years of a four year education, followed by applying for transfer to a four year institution to transfer earned credits and complete the final two years, earning one's bachelor's degree. Students transfer to public schools in Kentucky will have an easier time transferring due to agreements in place that guarantee admission of all prerequisites are met.

Individuals transferring to out of state or private schools will have to meet the varying transfer requirements of individual schools and should meet with a counselor to develop a curriculum that assists in matching such requirements.

Career training and technical programs provide education in a career related or technical field, resulting in the development of skills and abilities necessary to enter the workforce as qualified professionals.

Courses are taught in both classroom and simulated settings, with such controlled environments used to develop practical experience necessary for mastering certain necessary skills. Such programs take between one and two years to complete and result in a certificate or degree that demonstrates competency.
