UTC is actively involved with regional municipalities, schools, businesses, and industry by offering expanded instructional opportunities that respond to area needs. The University of Tennessee at Martin, located in a rural setting in northwest Tennessee, exemplifies the residential university experience. Undergraduate programs constitute the core of UTM's instructional effort. UT at Martin offers a broad range of study choices for its 5,741 students, with baccalaureate degree programs in more than 80 specialized fields. Thanks to state assistance, in-state students on all campuses enjoy significant savings on costs and expenses of higher education.
All campuses also offer a variety of financial aid programs.
The University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex or disability. This policy applies to employment, admission, retention, and treatment by the University. State law requires persons eligible for the federal military draft to be registered for the draft as a condition of enrollment at UT campuses. These requirements apply to regular freshman applicants who have graduated from high school in the spring of 1989 or later. Such courses, however, do not count in the total number of hours required for graduation.
