37 Community & Technical Colleges Powering Tennessee

In today's world, having some form of education or training beyond high school is a must for getting ahead. Whether you're just out of high school or an adult looking for a fresh start, a degree or certificate from one of our community or technical colleges can be your first step towards career readiness, which can lead to greater earnings potential and a better quality of life. With 37 community and technical colleges across the state offering more than 400 programs of study, our diverse campuses and programs create the opportunity for all Tennesseans to attend college, regardless of age or income.

Tuition Freedom

In 2014, Tennessee created the Tennessee Promise program for students graduating from Tennessee high schools. Through this innovative program, graduating seniors in our state can qualify for a last-dollar scholarship to cover all mandatory tuition and fees at any community or technical college for up to two years. And with the recent passage of Tennessee Reconnect, the same opportunity will now be available for adults who would like to return to school to earn their degree or certificate and improve their career prospects. Tuition-free means the freedom to pursue your dreams of a better future for yourself and your family.
