| About this School |
| Volunteer State Community College is a publicly-supported two-year community college located in Gallatin, Tennessee and operated under the auspices of the Tennessee Board of Regents. It is the largest such institution in the state of Tennessee.
Vol State, as it is popularly known, markets itself to the Nashville community as well as its home area some 30 miles (48 km) to the northeast, but must be cautious as it does so, lest it interefere with the court-ordered desegregation of historically-black Tennessee State University. Also, the former Nashville State Technical Insititute (now Nashville State Community College) has now been upgraded to full community college status with a mandate to serve the Nashville community, and all three institutions are operated by the same body, the Regents. In total, Vol State serves 12 counties in northern middle Tennessee: Clay, northeast Davidson, Jackson, Macon, Overton, Pickett, Putnam, Robertson, Smith, Sumner, Trousdale, and Wilson.
Volunteer State has five major divisions: Allied Health, Humanities, Business, Social Sciences and Education and Math and Science. Popular programs at the school include Radiologic Technology, Physical Therapist Assistant, Education, Pre-Nursing, Paralegal, Pre-Engineering and Communications. The college has a television studio and a recording studio. It offers a recording management program and classes in commercial music and songwriting. Many students also take University Studies programs which prepare them for transfer to 4-year colleges and universities
Students can work on the weekly student newspaper, The Settler, or the award-winning student magazine, The Pioneer. Radio station WVCP also provides students chance to work at a broadcast radio station. There are a variety of student clubs and organizations. Student groups work to provide events on campus throughout the year. Theater students produce several plays each year and the Music Department puts on showcases each semester that feature student performers and original student works. The Music Department also produces a CD of student performers to sell at each showcase.
Vol State has two auxiliary campuses: one in Livingston, Tennessee, and the other at McGavock High School in Nashville. Both sites offer degree programs. The school also has learning sites at Hunter's Lane High School in Nashville and in Madison, Springfield, Macon County and Wilson County. Vol State also offers some third- and fourth-year level college courses through arrangements with other institutions.
In Fall of 2005 more than 7,000 full and part-time students were registered and 935 were set to graduate during ceremonies in May of 2006, the largest graduating class ever at the school.
