Pellissippi State Community College is a public community college based in Knox and Blount Counties in Tennessee. It is operated by the Tennessee Board of Regents. The college's main campus is located in west Knox County. There are four satellite campuses in the surrounding area. Pellissippi State was named Pellissippi State Technical Community College until July 1, 2009. It is the successor to the former State Technical Institute at Knoxville ("STIK"), founded in 1974.
At just $5,252/year after aid and a median debt of only $5,500 at graduation, this is one of the most affordable paths to a credential in the Knoxville area — especially with Tennessee's community college grant programs potentially covering much of the cost. Worth considering if you're pursuing a two-year degree or planning to transfer to a four-year school, where the real earnings upside comes later. One honest caution: the median earnings of $33,300 ten years out are modest, so think carefully about which program you choose and whether it has a clear transfer or career pathway attached.
