Tennessee Public Colleges and Universities

Four-Year Public Colleges and Public Universities

There is one thing you'll need to come to terms with if you decide to move to Tennessee; you'll be listening to a lot of country music. For some, this means paradise. For other is, it requires a considerable adjustment. But by the end of four years, most students spend their time lauding their education rather than complaining about the constant country music.

The State of Tennessee administers its own system of higher education, known as public colleges or universities, just like local governments and cities operate their own public K-12 school systems for local residents.

Financial support for Tennessee public colleges and universities comes directly from the state government, from tax dollars and other revenue the state collects in lieu of private endowments. Tennessee public colleges and universities may also receive funds from the federal government and private sources, but in many cases the state is the primary source of support of public colleges.

In the southern state of Tennessee, be prepared to immerse yourself in a strong sense of tradition. If you are looking to pursue an online college degree, you have a great many online schools and distance learning programs to choose from. In 2000, 7.4 percent of the entire state was enrolled in a college.
