Chattanooga State Community College (informally, Chatt State) is a public community college in Chattanooga, Tennessee. [1] The college is a member of the Tennessee Board of Regents System and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). [1] [2] Athletically, Chattanooga State is a member of Region VII of the NJCAA.

Contents

Chattanooga State is the only community college in Tennessee that has a Tennessee College of Applied Technology (TCAT) as an integral part of its organization. [3] The TCAT offers 21 diploma programs and 7 certificate programs with a combined annual enrollment of over 2,300 students and has 1151 employees. [4]

Chattanooga State functions as an open-entry postsecondary institution for students residing in six counties in Southeast Tennessee, as well as seven bordering counties of North Georgia and Northeast Alabama, including Bledsoe, Grundy, Hamilton, Marion, Rhea, and Sequatchie in Tennessee; Catoosa, Dade, Fannin, Murray, Walker, and Whitfield in Georgia; and Jackson in Alabama. [5]

History

In the early 1960s, the Tennessee State Board of Education began efforts to establish community colleges across the state as a result of post-World War II children entering higher education. In September 1965, Chattanooga State became Tennessee's first technical college and Southeast Tennessee's first public institution of higher education. It was originally known as Chattanooga State Technical Institute and was classified as a two-year, coeducational, college-level institution. The college was founded to offer technical programs with Associate in Science and Associate in Engineering degrees, primarily to meet industry needs and "to bridge the gap between engineers and craftsmen." [6]

In 1973, Chattanooga State Technical Institute became Chattanooga State Technical Community College. Specifics of Senate Bill 1010 mandated that the college provide comprehensive one and two-year occupational, college parallel, continuing education, and community service programs; offer quality technical and scientific occupational programs; and serve as a regional technical school to train engineering technicians or technical workers in the fields of production, distribution, and service. [6]

The college was under the State Board of Education until 1974 when it became part of the State Community College and University System, which was later renamed the Tennessee Board of Regents. With that administrative change the college identified the counties in its service area: Hamilton, Rhea, Bledsoe, Sequatchie, Marion, and Grundy counties in Tennessee and border counties in Georgia. [7]

In 1981, the State Area Vocational-Technical School, now known as the Tennessee College of Applied Technology (TCAT), entered into a pilot merger with Chattanooga State Technical Community College. Consequently, the college added vocational education to its mission. In July 1983 the Tennessee legislature officially recognized the merger, creating a unique partnership between vocational and career programs. With this merger the college began offering one-year certificates in fields such as industrial electronics, automotive technology, and welding. [7]

In 2009, the college was renamed Chattanooga State Community College when Senate Bill 681 became law. [8]

Over the years, the college has collaborated with business and industry to achieve several milestones. In 2006 the college acquired the building and land which had been the world headquarters of the portrait photography company, Olan Mills, Inc., which added 59,000 square feet (5,500 m2) and 40 acres (160,000 m2) to the campus, and was renamed the Center for Business, Industry, and Health Professions. [9] The creation of the Volkswagen Academy in 2009 was a unique partnership between the college and Volkswagen - the only such training partnership in over 60 VW plants worldwide. [10] [11] The establishment of the Business and Community Development Center in downtown Chattanooga provides customized support for start-up companies. [12] [13]

The college has partnered with other cultural and educational organizations to offer collegiate education to particular populations. Hispanic immigrants are prepared for postsecondary study served by the Plaza Communitaria, a program in which the college partnered with the government of Mexico. [14] American displaced workers are served by the AHEAD program. [15] High school students can apply to the Middle College High School, a campus-based school offering both high school and collegiate studies. [7] [16] High school students can also apply to the Early College program, which offers motivated and bright students a chance to finish high school faster and get into college sooner. [17]

Organization

Chattanooga State Community College is governed by the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) system, consisting of 18 board members. [18] Debbie Adams served as interim president for Chattanooga State, following Flora Tydings' appointment as chancellor to the Tennessee Board of Regents in 2017. On July 10, 2017, Rebecca S. Ashford was named the president of Chattanooga State.

Tydings replaced James Catanzaro, who had served as president of CSCC from 1990 to 2014. Warren Nichols and Fannie Hewlett were appointed interim president during the search period prior to the appointment of Tydings. [19] [20]

[25] Tiger baseball opened the 2010–2011 season with a Region 7 Tournament win and a trip to Grand Junction, Colorado, as one of ten teams in the country to compete in the JUCO World Series. Tiger baseball has produced student athletes with awards both on the field and in the classroom. [23]

[28] Tiger basketball gives students an avenue for pursuing their education at four-year colleges after two years at Chattanooga State. [23]

In 2012, Chattanooga State's Lady Tigers softball team won the NJCAA Division I national championship. [29] In 2010, eight Tiger softball players earned all conference academic honors and four team members earned All Academic NFCA Scholar honors. [23] The team won the regional tournament and went to the national tournament for the 16th time. [30] Head coach Beth Keylon-Randolph was former co-head coach of Team USA at the World University games. [31] The 2009 team was ranked #1 in April 2009 and finished the year ranked #4 with a 60–9 record. [32] The Lady Tigers softball team also gives players opportunities to receive athletic scholarships from four-year institutions across the country. [31]

Three sites are located in surrounding Tennessee counties: [35]

[37] The main campus consists of 13 buildings on 150 acres (0.61 km2). This campus increased by more than 20 acres (81,000 m2) when the college officially acquired the Olan Mills facility in June 2011. [38] Sculptures by artists-in-residence (such as John Henry), internationally known sculptors, faculty, and students are displayed throughout the campus and in the Outdoor Museum of Art. [39] [40]
