THE COLLEGE
HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE
On October 29, 1965, the Battelle Memorial Institute of Columbus, Ohio, completed a survey financed jointly by the
Jefferson County commissioners and the Steubenville Area Development Council to determine the area’s needs for
training and education. The Battelle findings indicated a definite need for post- high school technical education,
prompting the creation of the Jefferson County Technical Institute District. The institute was chartered for operation
on September 16, 1966, as a public two-year institute by the Ohio Board of Regents, and a Board of Trustees was
appointed in compliance with Chapter 3357 of the Ohio Revised Code. Area acceptance and support for the technical
institute was confirmed in fall 1966, when Jefferson County voters approved a one mill, 10-year levy to assist in the
support of the facility

Since welcoming its first 320 students in the fall of 1968, as Jefferson County Technical Institute, Eastern Gateway
Community College remains steadfast in its principle that a community college must always respond to the
educational, economic and social needs of those it serves. For more than 50 years, the institution has evolved from a
technical college focused on workforce training, to a community college serving two campuses in four counties in
the Ohio River Valley, adding a growing national online program of students in all 50 states

In 1992, the Board of Trustees empowered a citizens’ committee to study the idea of converting the college to a
community college. The committee proposed the change in June 1993. In October 1993, the Ohio Attorney General
determined that the college could transfer the local levy to a community college operation. In September 1994, the
Ohio Board of Regents approved a request from Jefferson Technical College to expand its charter from technical to
community college. In February 1995, the Ohio Board of Regents approved a five-year operation plan, and The
Higher Learning Commission approved the change in the College’s Statement of Affiliation Status to include the
Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees. On July 1, 1995, Jefferson Community College began officially
serving the public

Following the University System of Ohio’s Strategic Plan and recommendations from an implementation committee,
the Ohio General Assembly passed legislation in 2009 to expand the college’s service district and to change its name
to Eastern Gateway Community College. The college now serves Columbiana, Jefferson, Mahoning and Trumbull
Counties with several locations. In July 2016, EGCC applied to the Higher Learning Commission for branch campus
status for the Youngstown location. The site was approved as a branch campus by the ODHE in that year and
underwent an HLC site visit in June 2018. Final branch campus status approval was awarded with the Higher
Learning Commission in July 2018

Today, the original Steubenville campus includes three buildings offering associate degrees, workforce credentials,
ASPIRE programs, a library and computer lab, and modern student service facilities in The Gator Center

Additionally, partnering with local high schools in Jefferson County, the College offers College Credit Plus, allowing
students in grades 7-12 to earn college credits and degrees prior to graduating from high school

Similarly, the Youngstown campus has grown to include two main buildings on campus which were purchased by
the college in 2020. Its location in the heart of downtown Youngstown allows it to be a significant part of the city’s
revitalization efforts

Recognizing the changing economics of its service area, and the significant number of its students who were
displaced workers or their children, Eastern Gateway Community College established partnerships with every major
labor union in Ohio to leverage “last-dollar” scholarships to its members. With the college’s low cost-per-credit hour
and the high number of Pell Eligible students in this demographic, Eastern Gateway Community College offers free
college to union members and their families. This program has grown to include non-profit organizations and
partnerships with Ohio-based employers This is in addition to scholarships that provide free access to Eastern
Gateway Community College to any high school graduate in Jefferson County, as part of its successful levy
passages

As this program gathered momentum beyond labor unions in Ohio, Eastern Gateway Community College realized
the opportunity to, once again, fill a void in higher education. By implementing and scaling a robust online
catalogue of degrees, the college quickly became one of the most tech-enabled online colleges in Ohio. This early
innovation proved tremendously beneficial during the 2020 global COVID-19 pandemic, as the college seamlessly
transitioned to 100% online course delivery

Responding to pandemic-related job losses and academic disruption, Eastern Gateway Community College
launched The Gateway Guarantee, which allowed any resident of Jefferson, Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull
counties to attend the college for free during Summer and Fall Semesters

Eastern Gateway Community College is proud to educate Ohio’s 21st Century workforce and its commitment to
ensure a quality higher education is within the reach of anyone willing to invest the time and effort in their future

Its track record of student-centered innovation will continue to break down barriers for working families to earn the
degrees they need to be competitive in a fast-changing economy

MISSION

serve our communities through helping students achieve success
