History:
 The University was founded in 1973. During the 1974-75 academic year, Tennessee Tech officials began reviewing previous fund raising efforts and began planning for a comprehensive program for fund raising. As a result, the Tennessee Technological University Development Council was chartered on November 23, 1976.Tennessee Tech is a public, co-educational and comprehensive university located in Cookeville, a town of about 25,000 residents.
Although it's located in some of Tennessee's most beautiful countryside, the campus is only a little more than an hour from three of the state's metro areas -- 82 miles east of Nashville, 109 miles west of Knoxville and 96 miles north of Chattanooga.

Tennessee Tech is known as Tennessee’s technological university, but houses seven strong academic divisions:

  • The College of Agriculture and Human Ecology,
  • College of Arts and Sciences,
  • College of Business Administration,
  • College of Education, College of Engineering,
  • The School of Nursing,
  • School of Interdisciplinary Studies and Extended Education.
With an enrollment of 9,733 and more than 50% of classes with 20 students or less, strong faculty/student relationships are a hallmark of a TTU educational experience.

Tennessee Tech is ranked among the Top Public Schools in the South and among the top 40 Best Universities-Master's in U.S. News & World Report's 2007 edition of "America's Best Colleges." TTU was also ranked among the Top Public Schools in the South in the 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007 college guides. The Princeton Review named TTU as a "Best Southeastern College" for the third year in a row. And this year TTU has also been named one of "America's 100 Best College Buys."
With 44 bachelor's degree and 23 graduate programs -- including an M.B.A., Ed.S, and Ph.D. programs in education, engineering and environmental sciences -- more than 75 percent of faculty members hold Ph.D.s.
