Austin Peay at The Renaissance Center in Dickson County
Yesterday, Austin Peay formally announced plans to begin offering a degree in business at the Renaissance Center in Dickson. Working with Nashville State Community College, APSU will offer classes beginning this fall leading to a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a concentration in management.
Students will be able to take most of their first two years of college work with Nashville State, at community college rates, and then complete the business degree with Austin Peay.
The new venture is made possible by the generosity of state senator Doug Jackson, an Austin Peay alum, and the Jackson Foundation, who have made classrooms in the Renaissance Center available to Austin Peay and Nashville State, and with the cooperation of Dickson County Mayor Robert Stone, Dickson County Chamber of Commerce president David Hamilton, and the other members of the Higher Education Foundation in Dickson County.
