Humphreys County Campus
In 1999, the Humphreys County Center for Higher Education opened to provide the citizens of Humphreys, Stewart, and Houston counties with the opportunity to receive quality higher education close to home. Over $500,000 was pledged in Waverly and Humphreys County for the new facility and a $1.5 million federal grant matched the local funds. This vibrant local-state-federal partnership has made the Humphreys County center a model for off-site campus expansion statewide. Nashville State Community College became lead institution for the 23,000 square foot facility located at 695 Holly Lane, in Waverly in 2002.
Both courses and student services at the Humphreys County Center for Higher Education match offerings at Nashville State's main and other campuses. Students earn degrees and certificates in over 15 areas. As a response to the workforce demands of the area, the Industrial Process Control Technology program was established. Working with program partners-businesses such as Dupont, Matheson Gas Products, Erachem Comilog, Chemetall Foote Corporation, Tennessee Valley Authority, and Temple- Inland Container Corporation-a curriculum was developed to train students in the areas of Process Control, Instrumentation, and Quality.
The Humphreys County Center for Higher Education will continue to grow through the addition of courses and programs in order to serve the higher education needs of the area.
