Tusculum University

Building on a rich Presbyterian heritage and a pioneering spirit, Tusculum University provides an active and experiential education within a caring Christian environment to inspire civic engagement, enrich personal lives, and equip career ready professionals. Founded in 1794, Tusculum is the first university in Tennessee, the twenty-eighth oldest college in the nation and the oldest coeducational institution affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA).
In the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in Greeneville, Tennessee, near whitewater rafting, hiking, skiing and more, Tusculum’s 140-acre main campus is in close proximity to a multitude of regional attractions in nearby Asheville, Knoxville, Sevierville and Johnson City.
Tusculum’s Knoxville Regional Center, located near the intersection of Pellissippi Parkway and Lovell Road, provides an opportunity for students in undergraduate and graduate programs to explore their education in a variety of different formats and delivery methods from on-ground to online.

Based on need, academics, athletic ability, service and/or leadership, 100% of undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid.
