Edison State Community College

What Edison State Community College does

Edison State Community College is a public two-year community college founded in 1973 and headquartered in Piqua, Ohio. The college operates four campus locations across West Central Ohio — Piqua (main), Greenville, Eaton, and Troy — plus online learning delivered through Blackboard. It serves over 5,000 students annually across six career pathways (Business, Engineering & Manufacturing, Health Sciences, Information Technology, Social & Public Services, and University Transfer) through more than 100 associate degree, technical certificate, and short-term credential programs, plus its first bachelor's program (RN to BSN Completion) launched Fall 2024.

The institution is built on a standard higher-education technology stack: Ellucian CRM Recruit for admissions, Ellucian Advise for student advising, Colleague for institutional operations, Blackboard for learning management, MyESCC for student portal access, Microsoft Office 365 and SharePoint for productivity and document management, eCampus for the online bookstore, College Central Network for job postings, Rave Mobile Safety for emergency alerts, Level All for student support guidance, and OhioLINK for library consortium access. Custom internal offerings include Edison State Virtual Tutoring (free via Microsoft Teams) and C-PLeX for credit for prior learning experience assessment.

Edison State generates revenue from tuition and fees at one of Ohio's lowest rates, processes federal and state financial aid (Federal School Code 012750), receives state appropriations and discretionary grants, sells workforce training through Edison State Works and TechCred (up to $2,000 per-employee employer reimbursement), runs registered apprenticeship programs, and is supported by The Edison Foundation — an affiliated 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has awarded over $2.495M in scholarships since 1993. Distribution relies on direct enrollment through the Ellucian admissions portal, regional campus presence, employer partnerships via Edison State Works, and university transfer pathways with Franklin University and Wright State University. The 13:1 student-to-faculty ratio and 81% financial aid participation rate are central to its positioning as an accessible, affordable entry point into higher education in the region.
