Digital Learning Collaborative, Tennessee Board of Regents
Location Description
Digital Learning Collaborative is a division of TBR, the Tennessee Board of Regents – College System of Tennessee, which is the largest system of higher education in Tennessee.
Through the Digital Learning Collaborative partnership, individuals considering a college education or options for accelerating degree completion have a comprehensive view of online programs and courses offered by Tennessee institutions, regardless of where or how they were developed. These online programs and courses are equivalent to those offered at physical campus locations. No differentiation is made between online and on-ground delivery on transcripts or diplomas. All participating institutions are regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) or the Council on Occupational Education (COE). Many programs have additional discipline-specific national accreditation status.
Using technology, Digital Learning Collaborative aims to improve access to high-quality, affordable, student-centered learning opportunities.
