Tennessee's Independent Colleges and Universities are Diverse

Undergraduate Enrollment by Ethnicity
Over a quarter of students attending TICUA member colleges and universities are minority students.
Nearly half of Tennesseans attending a TICUA member institution as a full-time undergraduate receive the Federal Pell Grant, which supports low-income students.
Nearly one in five undergraduate students at TICUA member campuses are non-traditional students (aged 25 or older).
