Discover UT

The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, is a special place. Community is easy to find. Game day is an experience like no other. Programs are top-ranked. Instructors are world-class. And our city has something for everyone.

Watch this video to learn why Vols love UT!

Programs you’re looking for

UT will prepare you for your future. Whatever it is that you want to study, you’ll find it here. Undergraduate students have over 360 programs to choose from and can even build their own program. You’ll be taught by professors at the top of their field who emphasize hands-on research and service-learning. 

UT is able to provide a small community with our majors while still giving us the amazing resources of a university. I love being able to know my professors and advisors personally. Being a Volunteer, I have a connection to so many people in the world, and I know it will help me in my future.

Tour campus

Knoxville will quickly become your home, sweet home. See the Great Smoky Mountains on the horizon and the Tennessee River just outside campus as you make your way to tour UT. On your visit, you’ll stroll past statues of our beloved mascot, see the iconic Ayres Hall, and hear famous campus legends (like how Vols shouldn’t step on the seal!).

This is the place for you

We sing “Rocky Top” loudly and often here. From game days in Neyland Stadium to shows at Clarence Brown Theatre, special events like Volapalooza and traditions like Torch Night, we know you’ll make lifelong memories as a Volunteer.

Receiving my scholarship was an immense honor and a dream come true. It alleviates the financial burden of tuition but also symbolizes recognition of my hard work and dedication. This empowers me to focus wholeheartedly on my studies and make the most of the opportunities available to me.
