The cost to attend the University of Tennessee is very reasonable compared to other public, state-supported universities. Detailed cost information is available online at http://web.utk.edu/~bursar. In addition, the Academic Common Market, an agreement among several states, may provide a discount. Participating states are able to make arrangements for their residents who are to be fully admitted to specific programs at UT on an in-state fee basis, when these programs are not available in their state of residence. Under this program students from Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia may enroll in the Nuclear Engineering program at UT and pay in-state rates. In many cases, this results in a lower cost than enrolling in some other program in the students’ home state.
The Academic Common Market Coordinators for member states in which residents may obtain in-state status to enroll in UT, Nuclear Engineering Program are listed below.
