Popular for its country music, Tennessee is becoming an increasingly popular place to earn an advanced education. The Tennessee Higher Education Commission oversees the public schools in the state, which are broken up into the University of Tennessee system. With campuses scattered across Tennessee, four-year universities, community schools, and numerous tech schools all make up the public school system. In addition to the state schools, private colleges also make their home in Tennessee. Enrolling more than 12,000 students, Vanderbilt University is the largest private school in the state. For those with busy daily schedules, full time jobs, or kids at home, almost all of Tennessee’s schools, both private and public, offer web based learning which allows folks to advance their studies from the comfort of home at their own pace.
