Much of Chattanooga State Technical Community College's present missions and goals are seeded in its history. When it opened in September 1965 on Fourth and Chestnut Streets, the College was known as Chattanooga State Technical Institute, a two-year, co-educational, college level institution. It was the state's first technical college, and Southeast Tennessee's first public institution of higher education.
In 1967, the College moved to its present location. Since then, it has grown into a multi-million dollar complex. Chattanooga State Technical Institute's goal was to prepare students with marketable technical skills that would bridge the gap between the engineer and the craftsman. The technical programs offered A.S. and A.E. degrees and certificate programs, while remaining flexible to students and industry needs. In 1973, Chattanooga State Technical Institute turned into Chattanooga State Technical Community College. Senate Bill 1010 assured the college would provide comprehensive one and two-year occupational, college parallel, continuing education, and community service programs as well as quality technical and scientific occupational programs. Finally, Chattanooga State Technical Community College would serve as a regional technical school to train engineering technicians or technical workers in the fields of production, distribution, or service as well as vocational training for the State.
