Cookeville Higher Education Campus

Cookeville Higher Education Campus

  • Nashville State Community College established its Cookeville campus in 1990 with a dozen students. After moving to several locations in town, the school found a permanent home on Neal Street. When the campus was constructed in 2002, Nashville State's Cookeville campus had 179 students. In 2015, Nashville State joined forces with Tennessee Tech University and Volunteer State Community College to offer a wider array of programs to Cookeville's students and to expand student access and opportunities to advance their educations and careers. Beginning with the Fall 2016 semester, students wishing to pursue an associate degree at CHEC will enroll at Volunteer State, unless a special program not available through VSCC is offered at CHEC by another community college, including Nashville State. The most prominent feature of the building is a tall tower. It was built to remind students of a radio tower with a flashing light near a portable building across town that once housed Nashville State's classes. Students at the time called it the "tower of learning" or "tower of knowledge."

Tennessee Technological University

Tennessee Technological University

  • Tennessee Tech, an academically rigorous four-year university, is an educational, social and cultural focal point of Cookeville and the surrounding region. Guest lecturers, concerts, student recitals and big-time college sports bring an air of excitement to the community. An award-winning faculty of distinguished scholars and researchers routinely earn top honors in their fields. The vibrant, scenic campus is located just north of Cookeville's historic WestSide district. While visiting Cookeville, drop by Tennessee Tech to stroll the beautiful campus, enjoy numerous cultural activities or cheer the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles on to victory. Also see Henderson Hall, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. Be sure to see Derryberry Hall, one of the oldest buildings on campus. It's easily recognizable by its clock tower, upon which the famed Golden Eagle perches. Legend has it that former Tennessee Governor Frank Clement (now deceased) was prepared to intervene in a dispute over the eagle, which originally made its way to Cookeville via Chattanooga's Monteagle Hotel. From 1909 to 1915, Derryberry Hall, along with Kittrell Hall and Bartoo Hall, which served as men's and women's residence halls, made up TTU's forerunner, Dixie College. All three buildings are located on the university's main quad just off William Jones Blvd., where a historic marker tells the story of Dixie College.
