Provided by Dyersburg State Community College

Dyersburg State Community College uses learner-centered instruction to expose students to the best historical and contemporary ideas to help them create effective solutions to future challenges.

Dyersburg State Community College is a growing and dynamic institution charged by the Tennessee Board of Regents to serve the educational needs of a seven-county area of Western Tennessee.
Students from all walks of life and all ages attend DSCC. While most of our students begin their college career immediately upon their high school graduation, we have many students who are returning to the classroom after many years. In fact, the average age of our students is 28! Knowing this, our instructors and staff work with students to accommodate their personal, professional and educational needs. DSCC also offers increased access to education via technology-assisted instruction and online course offerings. DSCC coursework transfers to all other accredited institutions.

DSCC has an open-door admissions policy and welcome students of all ages and backgrounds. Our faculty members are experts in their fields who are known for their approachability and for their devotion to helping their students succeed.
With locations in Dyersburg, Covington, Trenton and Union City, we are within easy driving distance of much of Northwest Tennessee. In addition, we offer our College at Home program, which allows our students to take classes online at their convenience.

When you consider the total cost for attending Dyersburg State and compare it to other area institutions, you will find that DSCC provides a great education at an affordable price.

Dyersburg State Community College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Dyersburg State Community College is a Tennessee Board of Regents-operated community college located in Dyersburg, Tennessee. As of 2005, it is the smallest community college operated by TBR, with an enrollment of fewer than 2,500 students. It is the only college operated by the Regents in northwestern Tennessee.

Dyersburg State was founded in 1969. Classes are held on the main campus in Dyersburg and at sites in Covington, Trenton and Union City. The college also offers online courses.

In 2007, the regional growth of the college sparked officials to begin an exploratory process to consider changing the institution's name. In March, 2008 the Tennessee Board Of Regents approved the name "Tennessee Western Community College" pending approval by Tennessee's General Assembly.
