It became Delgado Trades and Technical Institute in the late 1950s, awarded its first college degrees in 1960, and received its current name by legislative act in 1980. Ownership passed from the City of New Orleans to the state in 1970. Delgado describes itself as Louisiana's oldest and largest community college and operates multiple locations across metropolitan New Orleans, including the City Park Campus. It offers career and technical education, pre-baccalaureate transfer programs and allied health programs, and since 1990 has included the Charity School of Nursing.
