Overview of The University of Tennessee Southern (UT Southern)
With a student body this small, the student-to-faculty ratio is also quite low at 14 to 1. The campus is fairly small as well, so you can walk wherever you go. The college bookstore is at the edge of campus, not far from the Martin Methodist Pool.
Before you sign up for classes, you should find out what kinds of credits are accepted. You may have already been through a dual credit program, meaning you earned high school and college credit simultaneously. If you took and passed AP exams, these can convert to credit as well. If you have done something that added to your life experience, you can ask whether this can be added as college credits but it’s up to the individual departments.
