Library and Research
Seek and You Will Find
Through research, outreach and artistic pursuits, our faculty are on the cutting edge in their disciplines—and they take UTC students with them.
Undergraduate students at UTC gain research experience that is reserved for graduate students at most other campuses, and with the increasing emphasis on master's and doctoral programs, advanced research opportunities are developing across areas. Partnerships with governments, agencies and industries across the region are accelerating the growth of research potential.
The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.
