From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Okaloosa-Walton College is a four-year community college, located in Niceville, Florida.

OWC was founded in 1963 as Okaloosa-Walton Junior College, with its campus in Valparaiso, Florida; students started class the next year. A permanent campus in Niceville was built and started serving students with the 1969-70 academic year.

The school voted to change its name to Okaloosa-Walton Community College in 1988, and gained four-year status in 2003, thus changing its name to Okaloosa-Walton College. OWC also has a charter high school called the Okaloosa-Walton Collegiate High School, which opened in 2000.

In June 2008, Florida Governor Charlie Crist will sign a bill that allows several community colleges, including OWC, to offer four year degrees and be considered part of Florida's upper education under the newly-formed Florida College Pilot Project
