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.”

Computational astrophysics is an area of physics which uses computer science and analytical methods to study the physics behind objects and phenomena in space. My program combines computer science, math, physics, and astronomy to equip me with all the knowledge I will need to research this topic. It dives deeper than just a physics degree by adding more methods and tools in computer science and math than you would otherwise study. Using advanced math such as numerical analysis, program writing and optimization, and a knowledge of the theories behind physics, I will be able to apply these methods and information to things like galaxies, stars, supernovae and more to better understand the physics behind how they function. Having a flexible program such as this one will allow me to cater my curriculum as I learn about my field and gain experience to ensure I am learning everything I will need to know.
