Cookeville Campus

In the late 1980's when key business and industry leaders called for true technical training in the Upper Cumberland region, the Cookeville Area-Putnam County Chamber of Commerce responded. It was the desire of local civic and industrial leaders to create a college that would supply graduates with the skills suited for this high tech region. A partnership was formed with Nashville State Community College, and a campus was established in Cookeville.

For the first four years that Nashville State served the region, classes were held in the conference room at a Chamber location. The first courses offered were in Electrical Maintenance. As enrollment increased and the demands of CookevilleÕs businesses and industries grew, courses and programs were added and locations changed to keep up with space requirements. Ground was broken in 1999 for a permanent location at 1000 Neal Street. The resulting Nashville State Cookeville campus, a full service higher education facility, opened for the Fall 2002 semester.

Today there are degrees and certificate programs in 14 areas including Business Management, Computer Technology, Medical Coding, Police Science, and Social Science, along with general education courses that easily transfer to four-year colleges. Unique to the Cookeville campus is the Automated Control Systems concentration of the Electrical Engineering Technology program. These programs meet the specific demands of the region's workforce needs. The number of courses and programs will continue to evolve as the economy changes, and the needs of the employers and employees are met.
