Northeast Community College is a public community college system in northeast Nebraska with four campuses: Norfolk, O'Neill, South Sioux City, and West Point. The college was established by the Nebraska State Legislature in 1973. It was created by a merger of Northeastern Nebraska College and Northeast Nebraska Technical College.
Northeast Community College was founded as two separate colleges, Northeastern Nebraska College, founded in 1928, and Northeast Nebraska Technical College, founded in 1967. The current college was announced in 1971 after the Nebraska State Legislature passed a bill to make eight technical community colleges.[1] The colleges officially merged, forming what was then known as Northeast Technical Community College on July 1, 1973.[2]
In 1991, the Legislature passed a bill removing the word "technical" from all community college names. Northeast Technical Community College was officially re-branded to Northeast Community College that same year. [3] In February 2005, Northeast Community College and Wayne State College jointly announced a new campus in South Sioux City.[4] The college opened at the campus, known as Westside Tech Park, in August of that same year.[5] In August 2008, the college opened an education wing in West Point.[6]
In 2010, the college opened the J. Paul and Eleanor McIntosh College of Nursing. The nursing school was made in partnership with the University of Nebraska Medical Center.[7] In 2024, the college re-branded to a new logo, with an N containing an arrow pointing Northeast.[8]
