In addition to University Honors, the University of Tennessee offers a range of honors opportunities through specific college or departmental honors programs that complement the University Honors programs. They are designed to build disciplinary depth, in contrast to the interdisciplinary breadth of the University Honors programs. While not required, students in University Honors are encouraged to participate in college and/or departmental honors.
Admission to college honors programs or departmental honors concentrations is separate from University Honors admissions. Most often, programs admit students during their sophomore or junior year, and curricular and co-curricular requirements are typically fulfilled during their junior and senior years. Below are the common options on campus; however, please consult the leaders of these programs, your honors coach, and/or the most current academic catalog for more information.
The University of Tennessee at Knoxville has over 100 departmental honors minors or concentrations. The best source to learn more about these is the undergraduate catalog, which can be searched by major. You can also consult with your honors coach for more information.
