Founded in 1794, Tusculum College is the oldest college in Tennessee, the twenty‐eighth oldest college in the nation, and the oldest coedu‐cational institution affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA). The residential campus is located on 140 acres in Greeneville, Ten‐nessee, at the base of the Smoky Mountains. Within the TC Pioneer com‐munity, you will learn that stu‐dents, faculty, staff and guests work together to maintain a safe and enjoyable environment. You also will learn that as members of the TC family, your participa‐tion in our continuing efforts to preserve that environment is important.
