Cleveland State Community College has been serving southeastern Tennessee for nearly six decades. As one of the state’s earliest community colleges, the institution has long been a cornerstone of opportunity-empowering students to learn, grow, and prepare for both today’s workforce and tomorrow’s careers. 

In addition to supporting students, the College plays a vital role in strengthening the regional economy by equipping local businesses and industries with a highly skilled workforce. This work is made possible through the dedication of our faculty, staff, and community partners, all of whom are committed to student success and the growth of the communities we serve. Welcome to the Cleveland State family-where you can Define Your Tomorrow.
