1965 – Volusia County Community College, a separate entity under the school system, merged with DBJC.

1968 – The state Legislature combined the divisions into a single administrative unit under a District Board of Trustees independent of the county school system.

1971 – The official name of the college was changed from Daytona Beach Junior College to Daytona Beach Community College.

2008 – The college joined eight other schools selected to be part of Florida’s first state college pilot project and was authorized to award bachelor’s degrees. The District Board of Trustees and the state of Florida subsequently approved the institution’s request to change its name to Daytona State College, assuring baccalaureate degree graduates that their diplomas and transcripts reflect their achievement of obtaining a four-year degree.

2009 – The college started the first of what is now seven bachelor’s degrees in education.

2010 – Daytona State College was approved to offer a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology degree.
