On our campus, you will be taught by some of the nation's leading scholars. You will also benefit from our tremendous connections to professional jobs and graduate schools. They'll tell you themselves. They came to this university because they like students and they like to serve as mentors, coaches, and advisors. This is not the kind of place where teachers are too busy to teach or too focused on their research to learn your name.
Academic excellence is a hallmark of our education.
Our campus is home of two official sites of the National Science Foundation, including the world-renowned Center for Earthquake Research and Information. Being in Memphis allows a tremendous selection of internships that universities in smaller towns can't offer. These internships often turn into excellent full-time positions. The University of Memphis is a comprehensive urban university committed to scholarly accomplishments of our students and faculty and to the enhancement of our community. Approximately 20,000 students representing all 50 U.S. states and 69 foreign countries are enrolled here.
