School Notes:
- Founded in 1849, Hiwassee College is the oldest private two-year institution in the State of Tennessee. Its campus has grown from the original seven acres donated by Reverend Daniel B. Carter to start the College to a campus comprised of eighteen buildings situated on sixty acres of a four hundred acre tract of land located just one mile north of the town of Madisonville. The College offers a variety of university parallel and career/vocational programs leading to the Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or Associate of Applied Science degree.
- Located in Madisonville, Tennessee, Hiwassee is a private, two-year residential college with an enrollment of approximately 400 students. Unlike many two-year institutions, the majority of its graduates go on to attend, and complete, a four-year degree at another institution. This little college has been fulfilling big dreams since its inception in 1849.
- Rated as one of five most affordable private colleges in Tennessee, Hiwassee professors, students, and athletic teams frequently receive statewide, national, and even international recognition.
- Hiwassee College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award Associate Degrees. The College is further accredited by the University Senate of The United Methodist Church and the Tennessee State Department of Education.
