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.

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

[edit]

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

[edit]

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]

Wacker Chemical has partnered with Chattanooga State to create the Wacker Institute located on the Amnicola campus.[60] The company has its world headquarters in Germany and has built a number of facilities in the United States, including Bradley County in southeast Tennessee. The new plant will manufacture polysilicone which is used in solar-power cells.[61] The Wacker Institute is under the direction of the Engineering Technology division and will focus on teaching workers the technical skills needed to work at the plant, which is scheduled to begin production in 2013.[60] Four tracks of study are being offered: process technician (Operator), Laboratory Technician (Analytics), Electronics & Instrumentation Technician, and Mechanical Technician.[61]

In the summer of 2011, the Wacker Institute and other engineering technology programs opened in the Center for Engineering Technology, Art and Science. The new 149,000-square-foot (13,800 m2) facility features a $3 million, 25,000-square-foot (2,300 m2) state-of-the-art chemical training plant underwritten by Wacker.[60][62] Additional work force training partnerships have already been developed by the college with companies such as Volkswagen, Alstom, and TVA.[62]

STEM School
