Dear Student:

Congratulations and welcome to Tennessee Technological University. You have joined the company of an esteemed group – those who have chosen TTU to prepare them for success in their careers and in their life experiences. Our alumni hold positions as Fortune 500 CEOs, NASA astronauts, government leaders, renowned professors, and more.

As you will soon discover, all of our programs are of the highest quality and incorporate the latest technology throughout the curriculum. This will enable you to not only gain the skills you need when you graduate, but you’ll also learn how to keep learning, to appreciate all that life offers, and to apply what you learn in new situations. This places you among the most marketable of college graduates.

How do we know? Our students and alumni tell us so regularly on satisfaction surveys. And TTU is recognized nationally for its quality by several ranking organizations. We’re listed among “America’s 100 Best College Buys” for 2006 and 2007; ranked among the “Top Public Universities in the South” by U.S. News and World Report for 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007; listed as a “Best Southeastern College” by The Princeton Review for 2005, 2006 and 2007; and ranked a “Best Value College” by The Princeton Review in both 2006 and 2007.

However, Tennessee Tech’s best qualities are its caring populace. The personal relationships that you develop here with your classmates and professors will last a lifetime. Our enrollment is an ideal size for you to receive the personal attention you need and the quality education that you deserve.

I am glad that you are here, and look forward to seeing you on campus.
