Tennessee Tech has been recognized by Colleges of Distinction as one of the top Tennessee universities for hands-on education.
The organization creates a yearly guide for college-bound students, providing information on dedicated focuses. Tech received 10 distinctions including the overall list of “Best Colleges for You.”
Tech was recognized for engineering, nursing, business, education, military and career development.
In Tennessee, only 10 colleges, both public and private, are recognized by the organization, with Tech being one of three public universities. Among the public universities, Tech has the highest graduation and retention rates, along with the highest early career starting salary and highest return-on-investment, according to Payscale.
Colleges of Distinction’s selection process comprises a sequence of in-depth research and detailed interviews with the schools about each institution’s freshman experience and retention efforts alongside its general education programs, career development, strategic plan, student satisfaction and more.
