About this School
Hiwassee College is a private junior college located in Madisonville, Tennessee. Founded in 1849, it is the oldest private two-year institution in the State of Tennessee. It has a long history of providing a quality education; unlike many two-year institutions, the majority of its graduates go on to attend, and complete, a four-year degree at another institution.
 
History
Hiwassee College’s early history is linked very closely with the founding in 1826 of Tullagalla Academy, a school for boys, located in the Fork Creek Community some five miles from the site of the present campus. By 1845, the enrollment of the academy exceeded its capacity to accommodate the students so the school moved to the Bat Creek Campground and utilized the facilities available there. This area is located across the road from the present location of the Hiwassee campus. In 1849, the College was organized, replacing and expanding the academy’s program. The new institution was named Hiwassee, taken from the Cherokee word “ayuwasi,” which means “meadow place at the foot of the hills” and is reflective of the beautiful region at the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains where the campus is located. They selected as their first president, Dr. Robert E. Doak, a 25 year old Presbyterian scholar. This act proclaimed to the entire region that the emphasis at the College was to be on Christian education and not on denominationalism. Hiwassee College was chartered by the State of Tennessee in 1850 and thus, began a long history of meeting the educational needs of young men and, later on, young women of the area. For many years Hiwassee College offered training beginning with elementary school and continuing through the Bachelor’s degree. At some periods in its history, the College granted the Master’s degree. Currently, Hiwassee College offers programs of study leading to the Associate’s degree.
