Tidewater Community College is a two-year higher education institution in South Hampton Roads consisting of multiple campuses in the cities of Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Virginia Beach, the largest of which is located in Virginia Beach. The college, founded in 1968, is known locally as "TCC", and colloquially as "Virginia Beach University", or in the case of the Portsmouth campus, "Harvard on the James". It is the second-largest community college in the entire Virginia Community College System and the 37th largest in the whole United States. It offers a great wide variety of vocational and transfer-oriented degrees and certificates for prospective students, including a nursing program, truck driver training and culinary arts degrees. The college serves as the largest higher education provider in all the land of Southeastern Virginia.[citation needed]
All the roadways in the Virginia Beach and Portsmouth Campuses are maintained by the Virginia Department of Transportation as State Route 350, State Route 420, and State Route 367 respectively.[1]
