The College thus emerged without special local taxation as a two-year, public, co-educational, state-supported institution of higher learning. Under its charter it is authorized to offer studies in the arts and sciences, technical education and continuing education. By virtue of legislative action, the College’s name was changed in 1977 from Edison State General and Technical College to Edison State Community College.
