Big Sandy Case for Support
OUR COMMITMENT TO QUALITY EDUCATION

Big Sandy Community and Technical College has been changing lives for more than 60 years. The College promises to offer everyone in the region opportunities to learn, grow and succeed as they make their home a stronger, more vital part of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

BSCTC is recognized for offering quality, accessible and affordable educational opportunities close to home. Known for its qualified and caring leadership, faculty and staff, BSCTC provides personal attention and support to students, offering a quality education that fosters the ideals of lifelong learning and leadership.

Recently, BSCTC began a new chapter in its educational journey with a focus on learning-centeredness. The new focus has resulted in a culture where the learners' needs are the driving force in decision making. Providing students with the opportunity to meaningfully shape their learning experience is just one way BSCTC continues to expand the collaborative learning environment.

"I have served on the Board at Big Sandy Community and Technical College for many years. The College is a real asset to this community and we would be at a great loss if we didn't have BSCTC to provide education and training to our people."

Graduates celebrating

Over the past five years, enrollment at BSCTC has increased by 50 percent. New degree, diploma and certificate programs continue to be added in response to local employer and workforce needs. Enrollment projections indicate that this trend will be ongoing.
