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.”

The world of medicine and healthcare is evolving everyday with new techniques, ideas, and technologies. My program aims to integrate the evolving world of medicine with alternative healing approaches to create a comprehensive approach to healthcare. As an aspiring physician, I want to approach patient care not just from a clinical perspective but from a place of empathy, mindfulness, and understanding of the full spectrum of health—mental, physical, and emotional. This program allows me to blend the knowledge and skills of conventional healthcare with alternative therapies, such as mindfulness, nutrition, and psychosomatic medicine. Additionally, this program will allow me to explore patient-centered care in a variety of settings, including alternative therapies like yoga, art therapy, and meditation, preparing me to work with diverse populations and improve overall patient wellness. It will also help me understand the ethical and cultural dimensions of healthcare, allowing me to communicate effectively and advocate for my patients. Through this program, I will not only deepen my passion for integrative medicine but also develop the skills to become a caring and innovative healthcare provider, enhancing patient well-being and promoting improved patient outcomes.
