Part-Time Jobs Around Tusculum University

Tusculum University students combine on-campus employment, Handshake internships and—where visa rules allow—off-campus work in Greeneville’s retail, food service, healthcare support and manufacturing sectors.

International students must verify F-1 employment rules with Tusculum’s international admissions staff before accepting paid positions.

Common Part-Time Job Options

Where To Search

Students can search for part-time work through:

• Handshake and Tusculum Career Services LibGuides
• Greeneville–Greene County Chamber job postings
• Johnson City / Kingsport / Bristol metro listings (commutable for some students with cars)
• Faculty referrals in technical majors

Rural location means fewer listings than a major city—start early and stay flexible.

On-Campus And Near-Campus Work

On-campus jobs help international students stay visa-compliant in early semesters and reduce transportation barriers.

Practical Advice For International Students

Before applying for part-time jobs, students should:

• Confirm on-campus eligibility first year
• Maintain full-time enrollment
• Secure Social Security Number guidance only after authorised employment
• Keep health insurance active—required for continued enrolment

Best Approach For September 2026 Students

Students arriving for the September 2026 intake should open Handshake during orientation, talk with Career Services about hour caps that protect GPA and consider summer housing if pursuing seasonal internships away from campus.
