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.”

Lauren Benzon

I combine the fields of Neuroscience, Computer Science/Cybersecurity, and Political Science to facilitate communication between policymakers and newly emerging Neurotechnologies. My goal is to help both parties better understand one another, recognize the technologies’ drawbacks and dangers, and support the development of more productive and preemptive policies. I aim to better comprehend the science behind Brain-Computer Interface technology and, at the same time, hold a deep knowledge of existing legal policies and where they fall short. With courses in these fields, I am provided with a deep understanding of the biological and cognitive functions on which this technology is built upon, equipped with insight into the mechanisms of algorithms, and educated on the limitations of current public policy.
