Criminal Justice
2+2 Bachelor’s Degree Completion Program*
Volunteer State Community College and Tennessee State University Partnership
Vol State and Tennessee State University (TSU) have collaborated to provide Vol State
Associate’s Degree students the opportunity to complete the TSU Criminal Justice Bachelor’s
Degree directly from the Vol State campus in Gallatin, TN rather than on the TSU campus in
Nashville, TN. Upon completion of the Associate of Science Degree with a Criminal Justice
emphasis through Vol State, students “transfer” to TSU for completion of the B.S. Degree (see
reverse side for program requirements).
Quality Education and Student Advisement
By offering all courses through Vol State, students can maintain their local residences, continue
to work, and avoid the anxiety and hassle of travel or relocation. TSU provides the same high
value, affordable, educational experience and main campus quality instruction in traditional
classroom, online, and hybrid formats. In addition, students receive individual assistance and
advisement via a TSU Off-Campus Program Coordinator and Off-Campus Counselor, who
strive to ensure the students enjoy all of the benefits of the TSU Criminal Justice Program, but
from a distance.
