College Profile

Volunteer State Community College is a public two year community college in Gallatin, Tennessee, serving a twelve county region including the counties of Clay, Davidson, Jackson, Macon, Overton, Picket, Putnam, Robertson, Smith, Sumner, Trousdale and Wilson. The College is committed to the education of a non-racially identifiable student body. Volunteer State Community College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award the Associate Degree and holds membership in the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges, and the Southern Association of Junior Colleges and the Tennessee College Association. The College has eligibility certification by the U.S. Office of Education and is approved by the State Department of Education for Veterans Education. The College is an Equal Opportunity Institution of Higher Learning of the Tennessee State Board of Regents and maintains an “open-door” policy of accepting any student who desires to improve through education. A Faculty Assembly offers the faculty opportunities to become involved in decision making on an advisory level.

Brief History

The establishment of a state community college at Gallatin involved the cooperative work of many civic leaders and citizens of Sumner County as well as state officials. A unified proposal for a college was presented by Robert L. Wendling, leading a Sumner County delegation, to the Tennessee Higher Education Commission in Nashville on September 11, 1967. This local initiative anticipated future General Assembly action to authorize and appropriate funds. Upon the recommendation of State Education Commissioner J. H. Warf, Governor Buford Ellington presented the college legislation to the 1969 General Assembly, and it was adopted. Following this action, the Tennessee Higher Education Commission on June 2, 1969 authorized the State Board of Education to establish a community college in Sumner County. On May 8, 1970, Dr. Hal Reed Ramer was elected by the State Board of Education as the founding president of the newly authorized college, effective July 1,1970. For the preceding seven years, he had been assistant state commissioner for higher education. President Ramer proposed to the Board and Chairman Warf that the new college be named Volunteer State Community College, and this was approved by the board on July 2,1970. Groundbreaking ceremonies for the first four buildings were held on November 5,1970. Utilizing the hotel and the educational facilities of several Gallatin churches, the College began instruction in the fall of 1971 with 581 students. In 1972, the General Assembly established the Tennessee Board of Regents as the governing board for the State University and Community College System, at which time the central control of the College transferred from the State Board of Education to the Regents System. Tennessee Higher Education Commission approved a new teaching center in Livingston on December 1, 1994 with the Associate of Applied Science in General Technology Degree. The McGavock Center has served thousands of area citizens since its inception in 1976 with a variety of career programs and special interest courses. At the present time, there are 30 off-site locations where VSCC offers classes.

vi

After 32 years as President of the College, Dr. Ramer retired in January 2003. Dr. Warren Nichols became the second President of Volunteer State on February 1, 2003 and continues to lead the College. Dr. Nichols brought with him great expectations for the College. Since his tenure, the College has undergone major building renovations and has implemented new academic programs. As President, he takes a major role in community activities, has strengthened workforce development partnerships and raised the visibility of the institution. The College has experienced phenomenal growth in enrollment, curricula, staff, programs, public service involvement, facilities, and quality of education since its inception in 1971. The main campus is presently comprised of 16 buildings with numerous off-campus operations which extend the College’s instruction and public service roles throughout its multi-county area. For the last thirty-three years, over 100,000 students have attended the College.

5 yr change 894 (15.8%) 495.8 (14%)

Spring semester headcount increased gradually from the 2000 numbers resulting in a 15.8% increase. The spring FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) hours also followed the same pattern with an increase in 2002 where FTE surpassed all previous FTE levels. The FTE for Spring 2004 was a slight decline from the previous year. The decrease in FTE indicates that although enrollment numbers increased, the students are taking fewer credit hours. * FTE is calculated on the basis of 15 credit hours.

Executive Summary

Fall 2003 at VSCC

Student Characteristics From Fall 1993 to Fall 2003 there was an 18.1% increase in enrollment. There was a

substantial increase in fall enrollment from 1993 to 1996. From 1997 through 2000 there was a gradual decline followed by an increase in Fall 2001. The Fall of 2003 represents the largest enrollment in the college to date.

Fall semester headcount decreased from 1999 to 2000, but rebounded back in 2001. In

contrast, the fall FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) hours showed an increase until 2002 where FTE surpassed all previous FTE levels. FTE slightly decreased by 2.2% from Fall 2002 to Fall 2003, indicating students are taking less credit hours. (FTE is calculated on the basis of 15 credit hours.)

The gender distribution favors females. This has remained relatively stable since

Fall 1999 to current. Students age 18 to 20 comprise the largest age category with 33.2% representation.

This is followed by the 21 to 24 age category at 22.6 %. Fifty-six percent of the population is between the ages of 18 to 24.

There has been an increase in enrollment in all the age categories under age 39. More

traditional students and working adults are attending college than before. Age categories 40 and above have experienced some decline. The most enrollment growth within a single age category occurred in the 17 and under group. More high school students are taking courses through dual enrollment.

The average age of students decreased from 1999 to 2000, and increased in 2001. It has

again dropped slightly in 2003. Sophomore students have the highest average age at 28.8 years.

The percentage of White (Non-Hispanic) students has increased slightly by 3.4% over the

5-year period. Minority groups such as Blacks and Hispanics have a higher increase with 21.2% and 45.6% respectively. There has been only a slight change (2.4% to 3.7%) in the student population of Asians, American Indians, and Unclassified students over the 5 year period.

The student body consists of a larger portion of freshmen (47.9%) than other student

levels. All freshmen account for 47.9% of the student body and have increased by 10% over the

last 5 years. Special Students (non-degree seeking) have decreased by 8.3%, while the Sophomore category of students has increased by 9.4% over the past 5 years.

Continuing students make up the majority of the enrollment (54.3%). This is followed by

first-time freshmen students, which account for 17.4% of the enrollment.


126

Part-time students account for slightly greater enrollment than full-time students. However, the trend shows a 10% increase in the enrollment of full-time students over the 5 years. The percentage of students enrolling on a part-time basis has remained steady over the 5 year period.

The majority of students (64.9%) attend classes only on the Volunteer State Community

College Main Campus. Students who take classes only at off campus locations represent 23.8% of the students.

The college provides credit courses at multiple sites, on multiple schedules, and through

various delivery systems to enhance access to higher education opportunities throughout the service region. The largest number of students is enrolled at the McGavock High School (26.2%) and Livingston Center (18.3%).

Over the five-year period, off campus enrollment has increased slightly by 2.5%. The

highest enrollment remains at the McGavock High School and Livingston Center over the period. The McGavock site had a 15.7% increase, while Livingston Center experienced a 3.3% drop.

The largest number of students resides in Sumner County where the main campus is

located. There has been a 5.5% increase of students from this county. The next largest numbers are the students coming from Davidson County followed by Wilson County. There was a slight drop of students from Davidson County from 2002 to 2003. Cheatham County has shown the largest growth (114%). Montgomery and Rutherford Counties have shown at least 20% growth over the last 5 years. In contrast, over the last five years, there has been a decline in students from Kentucky (26%) and other out of state students (41%). Overton County has experienced the largest in-state decline of 12%.

The majority of students enrolled are U.S. citizens (98.8%). Over the five-year period,

there has been an increase in foreign students (79.2%), and foreign students with U.S. residence (78.3%). Additionally, there was a slight increase in U.S. citizen students (4.5%). (Note: Citizenship status is recorded by both resident status and legal citizenship in the Student Information System, however, for the purposes of this report legal citizenship status is used.)

The largest number of students declares a major of University Parallel (39.1%), followed

by Non Degree (17.8%), and Pre-Allied Health (16.7%). There was a drop of 24.7% in Undecided students and Non Degree students (16.6%) over the 5 years. There was a large increase in Pre-Allied Health Ophthalmic technician, EMT intermediate, and Respiratory Care Technician majors over the 5 years.

From 1999 to 2003, both male and female non-credit enrollment decreased about 44%.

Interestingly, the male student population exceeded the female non-credit enrollment in 1999, dropped below the females for the next 3 years, but again was higher than females during 2003.

The average age of the non-credit student changed very little during the 5 years. There

was a slight increase in age to 39 during 2000 and 2001, settling back to 38 years in 2003. This average age is at least 12 years older than the average age of the degree credit student population of the college.

Unduplicated student enrollment in non-credit courses has decreased considerably by

39.8% over the past 5 years.


127

Fall First-Time Freshmen The number of first-time freshmen has increased by 5% over the five years. This is

mainly the female population. The proportion of male first-time freshmen reached a high in 2000 (44%), and then declined even below the 1999 percentage. The female first-time freshmen numbers reached their high during 2001 and increased by 2% over the past five years.

The majority of first-time freshmen are 18-20 years old (73.8%), the typical age at which

most students start college. First-time freshmen average age has increased slightly by half a year (0.53) over the last

5 years to 21.36 years presently.

The proportion of ethnic groups for first-time freshmen are similar as all students.

The majority of first-time freshmen enroll as full-time students (76.9%). This is in contrast to the general student body which has more part-time students.

First-time freshmen enrollment by county of residence has the largest enrollment from

Sumner, Davidson and Wilson Counties. This is similar to total student enrollment. The majority of first-time freshmen pursue the University Parallel program (49.9%),

followed by Undecided students (16.4%), and Pre-Allied Health fields (21.7%). There has been a decline in the number of first-time freshmen entering the institution with

an undecided major (-39%) during the 5-year period. Reductions have also occurred in the following majors: General Technology (-81.8%), Allied Health (-50%), Paralegal (-61.5%), and General Business Administration (-27.5%). The Pre-Allied Health program showed a big increase (111%). The University Parallel program also showed some increase (16%).

The off-campus sites that most first-time students attend are Livingston Center and

McGavock High School. These are also the highest frequency for all students. The highest number of students had high school GPA’s of 3.0 to 3.5 (27.4%). This is

followed by 24.6% of students receiving GPA scores between 2.0 and 2.5. The average high school GPA for first-time freshmen was 2.76.

There has been a considerable increase in the GPA scores over 3.0 in the last 5 years

(over 54%). The largest gain in GPA occurs in the 3.0 to 3.5 range, represented by a 62.8% increase over the 5 years. This increase also resulted in this range being the highest frequency for the incoming freshmen. There is also an increase in percentage of students in every GPA category. Average entering GPA scores have remained stable over the last 5 years. These factors may be an indicator that students are entering the institution better prepared. A higher percentage of students is entering the institution with GED scores, which represents a 54% change in the last 5 years.

Of the incoming first-time freshmen, 50.5% received ACT scores below 19. The highest

frequency of first-time freshmen has ACT scores at the 17-18 range. (Note: Students age 21 and over are exempt from the ACT test. However, if scores are available the score is reported.)

During the 5-year period, the ACT score of 27 and over increased the most (86.7%). At

the lower range, the scores of ACT below 14 decreased over the last 5 years. This indicates that more students are entering VSCC with higher ACT scores. The middle

Spring 2004 at VSCC Student Characteristics

From Spring 1994 to Spring 2004 there was a 21% increase in enrollment. There was a substantial increase in spring enrollment from 1995 to 1998. From 1999 through 2001 there was a gradual decline followed by a sizeable increase in Spring 2002. Spring 2004 represents the largest enrollment in the college to date. The enrollment increases correspond with the fall semester patterns.

Spring semester headcount increased gradually from the 2000 numbers resulting in a

15.8% increase. The Spring FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) hours also followed the same pattern with an increase in 2002 where FTE surpassed all previous FTE levels. The FTE for Spring 2004 was a slight decline from the previous year. The decrease in FTE indicates that although enrollment numbers increased, the students are taking less credit hours. (FTE is calculated on the basis of 15 credit hours.)

The gender distribution favors females. This has remained stable over the 5 years, 63%-

64%. This is consistent with the fall term gender breakdown. Females also experienced 1% more enrollment change than males during the past 5 years.

The 21-24 age category represents the highest number of students, followed by 18-20 year old students. Students over 50 are represented by only 3% of the students.

All the age categories have experienced some increase in the last 5 years, except the 65

and over category. The highest increase is represented by the 17 and under students who are dual enrolled at high school and college. Most students enrolling in the Spring are between the ages of 18 to 24.

The sophomore students have the highest average age. The first-time freshmen students are approximately 4 years older on average during the spring than in the fall semester.

The largest percentage of students is White (Non-Hispanic) represented by 85.3%,

followed by 9.8% Blacks (Non-Hispanic) in the present year. Over the 5 years only the Alaskan Native and Unclassified student population has experienced a decline.

The All Freshmen category makes up the largest category of students (43.2%), followed

by sophomore students (37%). There are fewer freshmen in the spring than in the fall, but more sophomore students in the spring semester.

Continuing students make up the majority of the enrollment (72.5%). This is followed by transfer students (7%).

Similar to fall enrollment, part-time students account for slightly greater enrollment than full-time students. Both full-time and part-time enrollment increased by 15 to 16% during the past 5 years. (Full-time students are those enrolled in 12 or more semester credit hours. Part-time students are those enrolled in less than 12 semester credit hours.)

The majority of students (65.6%) attend classes only on the Volunteer State Community College Main Campus. More males enroll on the Main campus only than females. Conversely, more females take classes at both on campus and off campus locations than males. Students who take classes off campus only represent 22.4% of the students.

Over the five-year period, off campus site enrollment has increased by 3.9%. The

highest enrollment remains at the McGavock High School and Livingston Centers over the period.

Summer semester enrollment decreased from 1999 to 2000, followed by an increase. The Summer FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) hours also followed the same pattern with an increase in 2003 where FTE surpassed all previous FTE levels. The growth in FTE over the 5 years is 31%. The increase in FTE indicates students are taking more hours. (FTE is calculated on the basis of 15 credit hours.)
