Washington Community Colleges (2-Yr Colleges)Washington Junior Colleges, Technical Schools, and InstitutesThe State of Washington administers its own system of higher education which operate at least two tiers of public colleges. One being the community colleges in Washington, sometimes called Washington junior colleges, or Washington technical institutes, and so-called "four-year" Washington 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 Washington. The name, "community colleges" derives from the fact that "two-year" colleges primarily accept, and attract, students from the Washington local community Junior colleges in Washington date back to 1915. State aid was provided in the first community college legislation in 1941. Eight junior colleges were operating when the legislation prohibited the establishment of community colleges in counties having four-year colleges or universities. The limitation was removed in 1961 in legislation that designated the two-year institutions as community colleges, although they continued under the oversight of local school boards. In 1967, after a legislatively mandated study on community college organization, a statute was passed creating a statewide system of 24 districts with its own state board. In 1991, the legislature changed the State Board for Community College Education to the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges, merging technical colleges in the state system. The system now consists of 29 public community colleges and five technical colleges Washington College Degrees, Certificates, & Diplomas
