Know what UTC has to offer
Whether you know exactly what you want to major in or aren’t sure, UTC offers 150+ degree programs and concentrations that allow you to prepare for a successful career and explore other academic interests.
Major in engineering and minor in business, or major in education and minor in personal finance—the sky is the limit. We also recently revamped our general education coursework offers maximum flexibility and freedom for all majors.
Fund your education
Get help paying for school by applying for financial aid, starting with completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) application. The UTC Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships can help.
Many federal and state financial assistance programs (including grants, loans and scholarships) can be accessed by completing the FAFSA application. It can be tedious, but our UTC financial aid experts can help you navigate the process. It's definitely worth the effort. You never know what you could qualify for until you apply.
The average yearly undergraduate tuition at UTC is $10,144, and more than 75% of students qualify for financial aid. The University awarded $17 million in institutional scholarships in 2022 and our expert financial aid staff is available to help students apply for the federal Pell Grant, the Tennessee HOPE Scholarship and the UT Promise program to make college more affordable for all.
