Today, Tennessee’s 36 private colleges educate over 57,000 students and employ over 28,000 faculty and staff. TICUA member institutions gave students over $230 million dollars last year so they could afford to attend a private college in Tennessee. 4 At the heart of TICUA colleges and universities is a mission of service. Faculty, staff, students, and alumni volunteer their time to assist in areas such as adult literacy, early childhood education, and community development. A wide range of academic programs are offered across the State to meet the needs of the local community as well as the human capital needs of the State. These programs range from forestry and fine arts to mortuary science and museum studies. ★ 5 ★★ Economic Impact TICUA’s 36 member institutions each year spend over $2 billion dollars in fulfilling their missions which emphasize various aspects of teaching, research, and service. This translates into an economic impact of over $5 billion dollars every year. Tennessee’s private colleges educate over 57,000 students and employ over 28,000 faculty and staff. 6 The 28,000 individuals who compose the institutional faculty and staff generate an additional 14,000 jobs across the cities and towns where TICUA member institutions provide their services. $230 million dollars in institutional aid goes to students who excel academically as well as those who have financial need. This aid helps offset the need for students to borrow for their education. TICUA members remain committed to assisting qualified students. ★ 7 ★★ Student Enrollment Over 12,000 DEGREE TICUA UT TBR 2yr TBR 4yr TOTAL TICUA % degrees ranging from Associate 412 0 6,118 227 6,757 6% Associate to Doctoral are Bachelor 8,648 6,084 0 9,273 24,005 36% awarded each year at Master 2,831 2,208 0 2,980 8,019 35% the 36 TICUA member institutions.

This service extends beyond the students working on a degree to the surrounding community. Faculty, staff, alumni, and students of TICUA colleges and universities volunteer their time to assist in areas such as adult literacy, early childhood education, and community development. TICUA member institutions provide work force development education and training for a large number of occupations which are needed in Tennessee including doctors, scientists, engineers, teachers, nurses, funeral directors, artists, and ministers. Many institutions offer these programs during the evening or weekends as well as on-site at a number of corporations, making it easier for Tennesseans to further their education.
