Kentucky Community Colleges (2-Yr Colleges)Kentucky Junior Colleges, Technical Schools, and InstitutesThe State of Kentucky administers its own system of higher education which operate at least two tiers of public colleges. One being the community colleges in Kentucky, sometimes called Kentucky junior colleges, or Kentucky technical institutes, and so-called "four-year" Kentucky colleges which award bachelor's and master's degrees. The "two-year" community educational institutions provide post-secondary education and lower-level tertiary education, granting certificates, diplomas, and associate's degrees in Kentucky. The name, "community colleges" derives from the fact that "two-year" colleges primarily accept, and attract, students from the Kentucky local community Although individual institutions in Kentucky date back to the 1930s, the Kentucky Community College System was created in 1962 by the governor and the legislature and placed under the auspices of the University of Kentucky. As the state's land-grant university, the university had responsibility for planning and operating statewide education programs. Existing university extension centers were upgraded into community colleges with a strong focus on transfer education. A system of area vocational schools, separate from the community colleges and operating as branch campuses of the university, offered technical education and job training. In 1997, after a contentious political battle led by the governor, the legislature severed the relationship between the University of Kentucky and all but one of the community colleges. A new state board was established to oversee a new system of 13 community colleges and 25 postsecondary vocational-technical schools. Kentucky College Degrees, Certificates, & Diplomas
