Tennessee Tech hosts special themed campus visits

Tennessee Tech continues to offer special themed visit days to prospective high school students and their families.

This spring, students can choose from a list of special themed visit days, which allow them to spend more in-depth time with their academic program to see how it aligns with their interests and career goals. Themes set for the spring include women in engineering on March 21, education on April 6 and student life for later in April. VIP campus tours are still available year-round. To register, students can visit tntech.edu/visit. Students should check back often to see if new themes are added.

“Spring is such a beautiful time to be on Tech’s campus,” said Director of Admissions Steve Keller. “We had such a great response to our themed visit days last fall that we knew we had to offer them again. Students get to explore their academic program, meet faculty from the department and talk with current students. This really lets the student see a different, more intimate side of the university.”

Keller said the goal is to create a more personalized experience for students to focus on their majors and start making those connections before they are even on campus full-time.

In addition to these special visit days, one-on-one VIP campus tours are offered year-round in conjunction with the Tennessee Tech Trailblazers. Trailblazers officially formed its inaugural class last year with now more than 70 student members, and this new group offers personal, one-on-one campus tours to prospective students and their families, while also fostering genuine connections between current Trailblazer students and future Golden Eagles.

Tennessee Tech is ranked as a “Best National University” by U.S. News & World Report. The university offers more than 200-plus programs of study, and Tech grads leave with the least debt of all public universities in the state. In fact, based on total cost and alumni earnings, Tech provides students with the highest return on investment for any public university in Tennessee, according to PayScale.
