Southern State named Best Local Community College by Cincy Magazine’s Family Choice Awards for second year in a row
For the second consecutive year, Southern State Community College has been selected as a winner of Cincy Magazine’s Family Choice Awards in the following category: Best Local Community/Technical College.
Cincy Magazine – a locally, veteran, family-owned publication that covers news in the Cincinnati area opened nominations for their 2025 Family Choice Awards campaign earlier this year.
The purpose of the Family Choice Awards campaign is to recognize those who are the best in providing services and products to Greater Cincinnati families. The nominations consisted of written responses in each category, with the top three mentions advancing to the finals. Southern State made the final ballot, along with two other institutions in the area. The public voted, and Southern State secured the winning spot!
“We are honored to receive this recognition for the second year in a row,” said Dr. Nicole Roades, President of Southern State Community College. “This award affirms the dedication of our professors, staff, students, and partners in providing accessible, high-quality education that transforms lives.”
Southern State prides itself on being the community’s college. Whether a student is graduating from one of the area’s high schools, making the choice to return to college for better job prospects, or deciding to finish something started long ago, Southern State is here to provide an affordable, accessible, high-quality education.
Students can pursue a two-year technical degree that can put them directly to work, or a two-year associate’s degree that can take them to another college for their bachelor’s degree – all at a fraction of the cost of a larger university. With small class sizes, hybrid learning options, and friendly and knowledgeable faculty and staff, Southern State strives to be the first and best choice in the area.
Southern State offers associate degree programs in the areas of business, computer technology, engineering, education, human and social services, and health sciences, as well as one-year certificate programs in accounting, aviation: general, airframe and powerplant, practical nursing, and real estate.
Students can also enjoy bachelor’s degree completion opportunities through on-site partnership agreements, adult basic literacy courses, and workforce training programs.
Fall Semester at Southern State begins on August 25.
