Hocking College was founded in 1968. During its opening, the college had 234 students enrolled in 12 technical degree programs. The growth of the college in program offerings and enrollment has consistently surprised skeptics who, from the beginning, have said that a primarily rural area with a large university nearby could never support a technical college. Currently, few people in the area remain untouched by the college's programs and services.
The college now serves more than 3,000 students. Set in the scenic town of Nelsonville, Ohio, the 2,300-acre institution is rich in history, nature, art and culture. Hocking College also has the Perry Campus located in New Lexington, Ohio and the Logan Educational Site. In addition to the school's on-campus residents, who attend Hocking from throughout the United States and around the world, local students commute from all over Southeastern Ohio.
