NSCC History

Northwest State Community College was founded when the Ohio Board of Regents approved the formation of Four County Technical Institute on June 13, 1968. The College offered its first classes one year later. In 1972, the College moved to its current location and was renamed Northwest Technical College. In 1994, Northwest State officially became a community college. This enabled the College to offer Associate of Arts and Associate of Science programs that could easily transfer into a four-year degree program at partnering colleges.

Since that time, the Northwest State campus has continued to grow. Today, the College offers classes at the main campus in Archbold, Ohio, as well as various satellite locations.
