Welcome to TICUA ~ Tennessee's Private Colleges

Research

The Tennessee Independent Colleges and Univerisites Association (TICUA) conducts research at the institutional level that is used for planning purposes by our member institutions. In addition, we conduct research at the state and national levels to support the development of public policy issues, and to understand the impact these issues will have on private colleges and universities.
