School Description

Provided by Big Sandy Community and Technical College - Prestonsburg

BSCTC's mission is to provide a two-year course of general and technical studies designed for transfer to a baccalaureate program and/or training necessary to develop a workforce with skills to meet industry needs and remedial and continuing education to improve the employability of citizens. BSCTC also offers an adult education program to prepare participants for the GED and/or college. To advance its mission, BSCTC fosters a living and learning environment that promotes diversity and open educational opportunities via a variety of instructional delivery modes.

BSCTC is a fully accredited, multi-purpose, comprehensive, two-year institution providing affordable postsecondary educational choices to underserved communities. The College is committed to providing programs that are responsive to students and the community, certificate, diploma and degree options in various program areas and quality training through collaboration with business and industry.

The region's economy relies heavily upon the coal mining industry. As that industry faces ongoing changes including technological advances leading to a reduced workforce, the College has played a critical role in identifying alternate forms of economic growth. The addition of service oriented programs, such as the nursing career pathway, to the college's curriculum allows students from all age groups and economic backgrounds to pursue an education.

The college promotes an open door admission policy, flexible course schedules including day, evening, weekend and off campus classes as well as financial aid for qualified students. The College primarily serves a five-county region consisting of Floyd, Johnson, Magoffin, Martin and Pike counties. The College offers classes at four campus locations: Hager Hill and Mayo in Johnson County; Pikeville in Pike County; and, Prestonsburg in Floyd County.
