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.

Owens Community College now has two campuses: the Toledo-area campus located in

Perrysburg Township, Ohio and the Findlay-area campus located in Findlay, Ohio.

The College offers associate degrees that transfer to baccalaureate degrees in the Arts and

Sciences and over 130 technical program areas in Agriculture, Business, Health Sciences,

Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, Skilled Trades, and Engineering and

Transportation Technologies. College students also can earn the first two years of a

bachelor's degree with a smooth transfer to any area four-year college or university.
