Welcome to UT

WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE

We are Tennessee’s university—a place where leadership and service to others are a way of life. Guided by the Volunteer spirit, we make a difference in our communities and people’s lives by listening, working together, and connecting with each other.

We pride ourselves on our academic excellence. Our students are encouraged to take risks and are supported by outstanding faculty and staff. And when students are ready to graduate, they become part of a Volunteer family that includes more than 250,000 alumni, who are always ready to light the way.

Volunteers stay connected to the university and each other through their love for our shared traditions, athletics, and our beautiful campus. From the Torchbearer statue in Circle Park to Ayres Hall on top of the Hill, the university’s 910 acres are situated close to downtown Knoxville, where greenways and pathways provide lots of opportunity for adventure.

Wherever you’re coming from, there’s a place for you at UT.
