Whether you are attracted to the natural beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains, the rolling Mississippi River, or the abundance of bird varieties located in Tennessee (the most of any state in the nation) or are drawn by the rich heritage of music evident in the cities of Nashville and Memphis, Tennessee has something of interest for indoor and outdoor adventurers alike. History buffs will appreciate that Tennessee was the birthplace of presidents Andrew Jackson and Andrew Johnson, both of who have sites memorializing their lives and contributions to the country.
Tennessee is the leading tobacco-producing state in the nation and this crop helps drive the economy. Other contributors include farms and industry–with manufacturing of chemicals, textiles, machinery, and leather goods. As with other states in the country, Tennessee’s workforce continues to evolve as new industries begin to take hold. According to Department of Labor and Workforce Development data, the hot jobs which will be in highest demand and pay the best will include such careers as financial managers, pharmacists, mental health counselors, teachers, social workers, and computer software engineers. All of these professions will require at least a Bachelor’s degree.
If earning your degree from a Christian university or Bible college in Tennessee is your plan, then you will be glad to learn that many opportunities are open to you. The Christian schools may range from larger schools like Union University to smaller schools like Johnson Bible College. While the smaller schools may provide the chance for a more intimate setting with a focus on more religious studies, the larger schools offer degree options ranging from traditional majors to religious majors. Both types of schools may offer Bachelor’s degrees with some also offering the opportunity to earn graduate degrees. Either type of school will provide students the chance to immerse themselves in a Christian setting during their college career.
