Getting Here

From Charlotte to Our Knoxville Facility

From Charlotte, take I-77 North to I-40 West at Statesville, then follow I-40 West through Asheville and into Tennessee until you reach Knoxville.

The facility is at 8525 Walbrook Dr, Knoxville, TN 37923, about 245 miles from Charlotte. Distances and drive times are approximate and change with traffic and weather, so check current directions before you travel.

Plan Your Two Weeks

Commute or Stay in Knoxville

At about four hours each way, plan lodging in the Knoxville area for the full two weeks.

Because the route crosses the North Carolina mountains on I-40, check weather and road conditions before you leave in colder months, and plan to arrive the day before class.
