College Scholars Program

The College Scholars Program is an interdisciplinary honors program in the College of Arts and Sciences. Our program exists solely for highly motivated and academically talented students who have clear goals for their undergraduate education, and who cannot attain those goals within the traditional requirements structure of the College.

The goals of this website are to provide prospective applicants with information about the College Scholars Program, to share good news about the program with alumni and friends, and to provide useful information and documents for Scholars who may be temporarily unable to connect with the private electronic community that serves the current group of Scholars.

“As a public health nutrition advocate, the College Scholars Program at the University of Tennessee greatly enhanced my educational, professional, and personal journey to be where I am today.”

As a Holistic Public Health major I will be studying health beyond the traditionally emphasized physical health. While I recognize physical health to be an important factor in one’s overall wellbeing, I also believe it is crucial to acknowledge intersecting variables such as mental health, environmental health, relational health, and financial wellbeing. I have experienced firsthand the dangers of relying on purely physical health indicators and expensive medications as treatment. There is so much more we can address to support a whole and healthy lifestyle.
