Nashville State Community College is a public community college in Nashville, Tennessee. It is operated by the Tennessee Board of Regents and shares a 109-acre (0.44 km2) campus with the Tennessee College of Applied Technology at Nashville. The Nashville State facilities include 239,000 square feet (22,200 m2) of space for classrooms, labs, offices, student services, and a library. Nashville State offers a wide array of programs and degrees including associate degree and technical certificate studies, university parallel transfer programs to four-year institutions, continuing education, adult education, four Early College programs, Dual Enrollment courses, and community service programs.
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable path into the workforce — at just $6,283/year average net cost and only $6,500 in median debt at graduation, the financial risk is genuinely low compared to most colleges. That said, the median earnings of $33,600 a decade after enrollment suggest graduates aren't landing high-paying careers, so this school makes the most sense as a stepping stone — think transfer to a four-year university or entry into a specific trade or technical field — rather than a final destination for students with ambitious salary goals.
