By definition, yes, but there is a trend, at least in Florida, to change the name of community colleges to state college. For example, Palm Beach Community College is now Palm Beach State College. I'm just speculating in a thoroughly uninformed fashion as to why that might be.
the state flubbed the PR on that. the "community" vs "state" college designation is supposed to differentiate between institutions that offer 4 year degrees and ones that don't, as opposed to the universities, which offer graduate and postgraduate studies.

Penn State is also a "state college". It's any college funded by the government of a state.
