Southeast Community College has been operating in its current structure since July 1, 1973, when a statewide community college system was implemented by the Legislature. However, the campus in Milford existed long before then. The first postsecondary technical institution, exclusively offering two-year postsecondary degrees in vocational/technical programs, was established by the Nebraska Unicameral in 1941 at Milford. Operated by the Nebraska Department of Education, the school was originally established to meet the occupational education needs of the entire state. In 1971, the Legislature passed a bill that combined junior colleges (Fairbury, established in 1941, in SCC’s area), state vocational/technical colleges, and the area technical schools into one system of two-year institutions. The consolidation originally established eight technical community college areas. The number was reduced to six when Lincoln merged with Southeast in 1973. The current Lincoln Campus at 8800 O St. began in 1979. Prior to that, the College operated in a number of properties throughout Lincoln. In 1975, SCC took over the Beatrice campus of John J. Pershing College, which opened in 1966 and closed in 1971. In 1980, the agriculture program was relocated from the Milford Campus to Beatrice. In 1986, Fairbury Junior College was closed and operations moved to Beatrice. Since 1986, SCC has added a number of facilities and land to its Beatrice Campus. The Lincoln Campus also has continued to grow, as has Milford. Today, nearly 10,000 students enroll in credit classes at SCC.
