TN Reconnect

TN Reconnect is a state program that provides tuition-free community college classes for adult students in Tennessee. You can earn a degree in more than 100 areas of study. The main requirement is that you not already have a college degree. But you can use college classes that you completed previously or start for the first time with TN Reconnect. We have had hundreds of Reconnect graduates each year and they say the same thing: it's a great opportunity to pursue a new career path or bolster your career skills without going into debt.
