OUR

STORY

Eastern Gateway Community College is an institution that is student-centered,
community-connected and future focused. EGCC serves students at our
Steubenville and Youngstown campuses in Ohio as well as being a national leader in
Online Education.
Founded in 1966 as Jefferson County Technical Institute, the college opened its
doors for the first time in 1968 to serve the residents of Jefferson County, Ohio. It
later changed its name to Jefferson Technical College in 1977. In 1995, the technical
college became a community college and the name changed once more to Jefferson
Community College. In 2009, the college expanded its service district to include
three Ohio counties in addition to the original Jefferson: Columbiana, Mahoning,
and Trumbull. This resulted in a further name change and the college became
known as Eastern Gateway Community College in October 2009.
Eastern Gateway, a state, public, accredited institution, continues to offer choices
for students in all walks of life – degree seekers, career climbers, knowledge seekers.
We have degrees, certificates, programs, and courses to prepare you to transfer

residents seeking noncredit courses, cultural events or a community place to hold a
