Tennesseans are feeling more positive about UT and the value of a four-year degree.

New statewide research shows 82% of Tennesseans have a positive opinion of the University of Tennessee System, up from 76% last year. Confidence in the value, affordability and quality of a college education has also grown.

That momentum matters. And we’ll keep working to make sure every Tennessee student knows a college degree is possible, affordable and worth the investment.
