mission statement

Being PIONEER Ready calls each of us to be Proactive, Interactive, Organized, Nettie-like (service-minded), Engaged, Ethical, and Responsible! Tusculum University seeks to instill in its graduates a sense of the world in which they live and to develop skills to make sound decisions that are based on the common good. Embracing the founder's Presbyterian roots and Christian faith, the Institution is committed to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. Inspired by faith, a cultivating atmosphere of open dialogue and free inquiry is encouraged. With a civic arts tradition, there is an emphasis on citizens working together to form good societies that in turn nurture individuals of good character. Student-athletes become principled leaders who are contributing citizens and champions in life by instilling the highest values of character, integrity, and sportsmanship. The Center for Civic Advancement seeks to engage the heart, mind, and soul in cultivating awareness of self/others.

What They Do

$32.2M in expenses

Tusculum University provided formal instruction and related academic support for over 1000 full-time equivalent students toward the fulfillment of Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Art degrees, along with Master degrees in a variety of fields of study. The academic program challenges students to innovate, engage, experiment, and persevere as they discover their purpose. Along their educational journey, they are encouraged, empowered, supported, and inspired through a pioneer spirit. Most students receive generous financial support through a variety of scholarship programs. The instructional classrooms are small, which enables faculty to provide individual attention where needed. Strong personal relationships create life-long friendships and support. Academic services are provided through the library and technology resources, testing resources, career services, tutoring, workshops, counseling, and special academic accommodations. Labs are available on an ongoing basis. Personal counseling services are available by licensed clinical social workers.
