Engineering Diversity Programs

The goal of the College of Engineering's Diversity Programs is to enable the successful recruitment, retention and graduation of African-American, Hispanic and Native American engineering students.

The University of Tennessee's overall retention rate for minority students is 60 percent, well above the national average of 35 percent. During the last three decades, over 500 minority students have graduated from the University of Tennessee's College of Engineering. Since 1978, the UT has consistently ranked among the top 50 universities and colleges in the nation to annually graduate 20 or more African-American engineering students.
