Demand from local citizens prompted Southeast to establish the Whitesburg campus in 1990.  Students are able to complete associate degree work and also take courses in radiography, respiratory care, and physical therapy assisting.  The Whitesburg Campus also plays a large role in hosting the Mountain Heritage Festival each fall which showcases various craft demonstrations, past and present.
