“I can’t even put into words the wonderful experience I had at Pellissippi State. I went to Germany through the study abroad program and got involved with lots of organizations. Pellissippi was the best option for me and for anyone interested in transferring to a larger school.”

Abbey Becker, 2017

Communications and Marketing Specialist, Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education

“I’m so grateful for my experience at Pellissippi State. The smaller class size, great teachers and supportive environment helped me to transition into college. And I graduated without any debt.”

Amelea Everett

Community Relations Analyst with the Knoxville Utility Board

“I took dual enrollment classes at 17³Ô¹ÏÍøthen transferred with the help of Tennessee Promise. So I basically went to school for free. I didn’t want to jump into a university and was drawn to the smaller campus. At Pellissippi I made a lot of friends and the professors were very understanding."

Carlissa Weeks

Director of Emerald Academy (a college preparatory school)
