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.”

Physicians often find themselves, whether by circumstance or by choice, thrust into managerial and administrative roles in a hospital or clinic setting. However, the unfortunate reality is that the power granted by their title does not automatically mean they are in a position to excel in those roles. Smaller clinics could have so much more success if the physicians in charge had a better understanding of business practices, the ever-changing legal landscape around healthcare and ways to prevent fraud, and ways to make their clinics more accessible and impactful for members of their communities. The goal of this program of study is to combine a scientific, pre-medical course background with a holistic exploration of ways to navigate those challenges in a healthcare setting. To accomplish this, it splits classes between pre-medicine, business administration, economics, and healthcare-law-related courses, all with the goal of being able to make sound and effective decisions in the future as a practicing physician.
