Residents of Tennessee pay no tuition. This is the advantage of going to a state university. Opportunities for research in faculty labs Our faculty are actively conducting research sponsored by a number of federal agencies. As a student at Tennessee Tech, you'll have an opportunity to work in their laboratories on research projects in exciting areas like environmental chemistry, computer modeling of DNA and proteins, medicinal chemistry, gene splicing, and spectroscopic studies of the Hubble Space Telescope data. Through these and other research efforts, you can gain valuable expertise solving real-life problems, have fun learning, and even earn a salary at the same time.
Several faculty can support students financially to work in their research labs.
Tennessee Tech is a full-service university specializing in science and technology. We are large enough that students are afforded a wide range of opportunities for course work. For example, no other undergrad program in Tennessee offers the course in Clinical Pharmacology offered by the Department of Chemistry every year. Students also have opportunities for research experiences in faculty labs. Yet we are small enough that students get to know their professors personally.
