Dyersburg State Community College
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaDyersburg 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.
