Tennessee Scholars Course of Study

Last Updated 3/25/2008

The Tennessee Scholars program is a rewards and recognition program for high school students, sponsored by the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Tennessee Scholars are high school students who complete a rigorous curriculum and reach a high level of skill in several areas so they are ready for any post-secondary endeavor such as the work force or higher education.

This proposed course of study exceeds the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) requirements for admission to TBR schools and the University of Tennessee as well as the requirements for the University Path as defined by the State Board of Education. Students wishing to complete the combined University/Technical (Dual) Path would add two related technical courses to meet completer status and take a math course in the senior year.
