Tusculum College is a private four-year college affiliated with the Presbyterian Church located in Tusculum, Tennessee, a suburb of Greeneville, Tennessee. The college was founded as Greeneville College in 1794, making it the oldest college in Tennessee and the 28th oldest college in the United States. The name dates from an 1868 merger with Tusculum Academy, and the school is currently located on the campus previously belonging to Tusculum Academy. The president is Dr. Dolphus Henry who was the subject of a recent no-confidence vote by the faculty, but will stay on as president.
Tusculum operates on what is known as the block system. Students take one course at a time for three hours a day for eighteen days. The only other colleges to use this scheduling are Colorado College, Cornell College, and The University of Montana - Western.
Its athletic teams are known as the Pioneers. Its baseball field, Pioneer Park, serves as the home of the Greeneville Astros, the Minor League Baseball team of the Houston Astros.
