Over five hundred students enrolled during the first year. By the mid-1990s, Lima Technical College offered over seventy Associate and other certificate degree programs.[3]
In 2002, Lima Technical College changed its name to James A. Rhodes State College in order to honor the former governor. Rhodes played a major role in developing Ohio's two-year colleges. It is now referred to as Rhodes State College.
