“I can’t even put into words the wonderful experience I had at Pellissippi State. I went to Germany through the study abroad program and got involved with lots of organizations. Pellissippi was the best option for me and for anyone interested in transferring to a larger school.”

“I’m so grateful for my experience at Pellissippi State. The smaller class size, great teachers and supportive environment helped me to transition into college. And I graduated without any debt.”

“I took dual enrollment classes at Pellissippi State then transferred with the help of Tennessee Promise. So I basically went to school for free. I didn’t want to jump into a university and was drawn to the smaller campus. At Pellissippi I made a lot of friends and the professors were very understanding."
Director of Emerald Academy (a college preparatory school)
