We`ve had a lot of firsts here in Memphis. But our most memorable years are yet to come. We are all about forward progress. Yours. That`s what Memphis does. For over 100 years, the UofM has been a catalyst for progress in the city of Memphis, the state of Tennessee and the surrounding Mid-South region. From its inception in 1912 as a “normal school” dedicated to the education of public school teachers to its role today as an educator of technologically savvy, socially conscious graduates who face a complex world, the UofM has always been an integral component of the greater community. Exceptional students from 50 states and 82 countries choose the University of Memphis as their collegiate home.

Ever forward looking, the University of Memphis is poised to enter one of its most historic and productive periods. Having just celebrated its centennial anniversary, its faculty, staff, alumni and benefactors have never been more willing, able and generous in their efforts to build an academic environment that makes a lifelong impact. Foremost among the university`s goals is to recruit outstanding faculty, enroll motivated students and provide distinctive learning experiences so its students are prepared for successful and meaningful participation in a diverse society. Currently, the UofM offers 17 bachelor`s degrees in more than 250 areas of study, master`s degrees in 54 subjects and doctoral degrees in 25 disciplines.

With 2,104 students participating in fall 2013, the honors program is the largest in the state of Tennessee. In addition to the main campus in the heart of East Memphis, the University of Memphis opened a campus in Jackson, Tenn., in fall 2011 at what was formerly Lambuth University.
