Clark State Community College began in 1962 as the
Springfield and Clark County Technical Education
Program in an effort to meet the post-secondary,
technical education needs of Springfield and the
surrounding area.
On July 1, 1988 Clark Technical College was changed to
Clark State Community College. As a result of this
action, Clark State added the Associate of Arts and
Associate of Science degrees to the nearly 30 technical
associate degrees and certificates it had offered for
years.
