Delaware Technical & Community College (DTCC or Delaware Tech) is the community college system in the state of Delaware with locations in four cities. It was created by the Delaware General Assembly in 1966 by House Bill 529. The college is fully accredited and several curricula have been accredited by various professional associations. The college currently offers over 120 programs leading towards associate degrees, diplomas, or certificates. Of these programs, 48 are accredited degree programs with articulation agreements with 61 other institutions of higher learning. In the 2004-2005 school year, there were 19,462 students enrolled in accredited classes and 24,851 students attending non-credit courses. The component campuses are the Jack F. Owens Campus (or simply 'Owens Campus') in Georgetown, Delaware; the Stanton Campus in Newark; the Charles L. Terry Campus (or simply 'Terry Campus') in Dover; and the Wilmington Campus in Wilmington.
The current president of the college is Dr. Orlando J. George, Jr.
The Southern Campus was the first to open in September 1967 with 350 students, and renamed as the Jack F. Owens campus in May of 1995. The Northern Campus was the second to open in a temporary location in 1968. The Northern Campus was then replaced by the Stanton Campus in the fall of 1973 and the Wilmington Campus in the spring of 1974. The Terry Campus was opened in 1972. The Presidents Office is situated adjacent to the Terry Campus. The president also keeps an office on the Wilmington campus.

Delaware Tech also has a small sports program over its campuses. The Owens Campus, whose teams are known as the Roadrunners, has both a baseball and a softball team, while the Stanton and Wilmington campuses combine for men's soccer, women's softball and men's basketball. Their teams are known as the Spirit, and their colors are green and white. In the early 1990's, a golf team was created for a local high-level amateur golfer, Tom Borsello, who had won the state amateur title on multiple occasions, and who was taking adult courses, to compete on the college level.
