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.”

My program combines the study of cultural, social, and structural factors influencing health with practical approaches to improving healthcare access and outcomes. It explores how historical, political, and economic systems shape health disparities and emphasizes developing evidence-based, community-driven solutions for public health challenges. My degree emphasizes structural violence and its impact on the body as a site of social, political, and economic oppression, examining how systemic inequalities manifest in health outcomes and access to care.
