higher learning
In the fall of 1999, a new approximately 100,000 square foot branch campus for Roane State Community College (RSCC) opened its doors. This facility is located in east Oak Ridge (between Laboratory and Emory Valley Roads) and serves more than 2,000 students per term. The campus includes a number of amenities such as a library; art, music and science labs; numerous computer labs; a health science wing; a bookstore; a grill and much more. RSCC offers courses in radiation physics, radioactive waste management and a two-year certification program for health physics technicians. 

Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU), a consortium of six Tennessee and 49 other colleges and universities and a management and operating contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy is also located in the City. A pioneer in technology transfers, with historic contributions in nuclear medicine and health physics, ORAU today conducts specialized training in nuclear related areas of energy, health and the environment. In particular, ORAU has been able to provide technical assistance to government, the academic community and industry in radiological site assessment, environmental monitoring and provision of radiopharmaceutical internal dose information.
