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. We have very active student organizations in which you can be involved. The one you may be most interested in is the Chem-Med Club. They go on field trips to medical and professional schools and hear talks each week by established professionals in medical fields. We also have a big group called the B.A.T.T. Club, which stands for Biochemical Association of Tennessee Tech.
