Thanksgiving Break 2025
I would absolutely recommend returning to college to others! It has helped me evaluate life. I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey and am excited to continue moving forward. I talked to several people who spoke highly of Motlow and its curriculum. I wanted to attend a school that offered an accelerated program.
I had an incredible experience with Motlow. Everyone was helpful and encouraging. TN Reconnect was a financial lifesaver for me.
Motlow provided me a competitive advantage through the Dual Enrollment program, jumpstarting an educational journey that continues today.
Motlow consistently ranks among the top performing colleges in Tennessee.
The college employs award-winning, stellar faculty and staff. Looking to join a high-performing team using emerging technology to change lives? Motlow is a life-changing experience. Let’s go!
Motlow State recently hosted the Academic Honor Awards Ceremony on the Smyrna campus. Graduating students in the Honors Program, in Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), in Psi Beta, and on the Presidential Honors List received stoles or medallions to wear at the 2025 Commencement Ceremony to symbolize their commitment to academic excellence at Motlow.
On May 2, Motlow State named the original McMinnville building on Cadillac Lane the Jerry W. Cooper Center in a ceremony honoring his family and legacy. Cooper was a state senator whose advocacy and devout belief in the power of education aided the College in making substantial progress and improving student opportunities.
Motlow State is partnering with the Nearest Green Distillery and Jack Daniel's Distillery to bring students an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Distilled Spirits. This program will allow students to learn the art of distilling on the grounds of Nearest Green, in the heart of Tennessee Whiskey country. Participants will be immersed in Tennessee's long history of whiskey production and will learn the skills needed to carry on that tradition.
On April 16, the Motlow College Foundation hosted its annual Motlow Ladies Philanthropic Society (MLPS) "Chari-tea" at the Marcum Technology Center. The event raised $6,000 to support scholarships for students over the age of 25 who are pursuing higher education but often do not qualify for traditional financial aid.
