They'll be held at the Volunteer State campus, 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin, on the following dates:

Volunteer State also works in conjunction with the Regents Online Degree Program, which offers dozens of degrees and hundreds of classes utilizing the combined resources of all the Tennessee Board of Regent universities and community colleges.
Some students want to combine the flexibility of online learning with classroom instruction. These courses have 25 percent of instruction in the classroom for one evening each week and 75 percent of instruction online.
