The University Scholars Program is a sequence of courses and other activities for a selected group of talented and highly motivated students. A major goal is to provide special academic opportunities which will assist these students to perform with distinction in their careers and as citizens.
All courses carry full academic credit.
Entering students are selected largely on the basis of the formal high school record. Students already in attendance at the University or transferring from another institution may be invited into the program as sophomores on the basis of their academic record during the freshman year. Recommendation for continuation in the program is contingent upon performance. Tennessee 38238 Applications should be mailed to reach the Director by March 1 each year in order to receive first consideration. Students invited to participate in the University Scholars Program receive notice around March 15.
