In total, Vol State serves 12 counties in northern Middle Tennessee: Clay, northeast Davidson, Jackson, Macon, Overton, Pickett, Putnam, Robertson, Smith, Sumner, Trousdale, and Wilson.

Volunteer State has five major divisions: Allied Health, Humanities, Business, Social Sciences/Education, and Math/Science.
