The College of Agricultural Sciences andNatural Resources began in 1869 when theUniversity was designated as Tennessee'sFederal Land-Grant Institution . As such, theUniversity was enabled for the first time to offerinstruction in agriculture . Graduate instructionbegan as early as 1889. The College is not onlyan academic unit of The University of Tennes-see, Knoxville campus, but is also (with theAgricultural Experiment Station, the AgriculturalExtension Service and the College of VeterinaryMedicine) one of the four administrative units ofThe University of Tennessee's Institute ofAgriculture .

There are many shared resources andpositive interactions between various units ofthe Institute . For example, most of the faculty inthe College of Agricultural Sciences and NaturalResources hold joint appointments in theAgricultural Experiment Station and are activelyinvolved in significant basic and appliedresearch in agriculture and the associatednatural resources . On campus and fieldresearch laboratories are utilized in theinstructional programs ofthe College ; extensionand research activities provide many studentsexcellent part-time job opportunities . Very

significant is the fact that the AgriculturalExperiment Station provides more than 100graduate research assistantships to supportgraduate students .

The unique association the College has withthe UT Knoxville campus and the other units ofthe Institute of Agriculture makes it possible forthe College to offer comprehensive high qualitygraduate programs .

Graduate programs of the College ofAgricultural Sciences and Natural Resourcesare designed to prepare men and women forpositions of leadership in industry, state andfederal government, teaching, research, andextension .

The graduate student is expected todemonstrate a thorough knowledge of thesubject matter in his/her specialized field ofstudy and its relationship to the sociological,economic, and environmental impact on society .The student must demonstrate the ability toplan, conduct, analyze, and report originalresearch . Emphasis is given to intellectualgrowth and the development of scholarly habitsof study, reasoning and analysis so that thegraduate will continue to grow and developprofessionally throughout his/her career .

The College of Architecture and Planningwas formed in 1990 with the union of the Schoolof Planning and the School of Architecture into anew academic unit . Both schools are committedto preparing students to work with the planning,design or management of our built environment .The college provides an administrative umbrellafor academic programs which share manycommon objectives and methods, yet retaindistinctive identities with their professions .

Most states require that an individualintending to become an architect hold anaccredited degree. There are two types ofdegrees that are accredited by the NationalArchitectural Accrediting Board : (1) TheBachelor of Architecture, which requires aminimum of five years of study, and (2) TheMaster of Architecture, which requires aminimum ofthree years of study following anunrelated bachelor's degree or two yearsfollowing a related preprofessional bachelor'sdegree . These professional degrees are

College ofArts and Sciences

structured to educate those who aspire toregistration/licensure as architects .

The four-year, preprofessional degree,where offered, is not accredited by NAAB . Thepreprofessional degree is useful for thosewishing a foundation in the field of architecture,as preparation for either continued education ina professional degree program or for employ-ment options in architecturally related areas .

The UT Knoxville School of Architectureoffers a program of professional studies whichprepares its graduates for the practice ofarchitecture . This is accomplished through afive-year Bachelor of Architecture degreeprogram or through the Master of Architecturedegree program for students already having abaccalaureate degree .

The School of Planning offers a program ofstudies which prepares its graduates forprofessional practice in urban or regionalplanning . This is accomplished through a two-year master's degree program . The school alsomanages the undergraduate program in UrbanStudies which awards a Bachelor of Artsdegree .

The faculty and students of both unitscooperate in a variety of ways, including jointfield projects, guest lectures, service on thesisprojects, etc . This expands the resources oftalent available to students . The college alsohas a research and public service arm, theCenter for Research, Service and Inquiry .

The University of Tennessee began as aliberal arts institution . Before the turn of thecentury, less emphasis was placed on theliberal education . However, the liberal artscontinued to thrive, emerging as a college in1904. Thus, the College of Liberal Arts (nowknown as the College of Arts and Sciences) isone of the oldest established colleges in theUniversity.

The College of Arts and Sciences consists ofa wide array of academic disciplines andinterdisciplinary programs . The central purposesof a liberal education include the encouragementof intellectual tolerance, a dedication to thequest for knowledge as a worthwhile goal in andof itself, and the cultivation of a responsible,creative individual mind. These qualities enableone to develop an ability to reason and toexpress oneself clearly, an incentive to absorbemerging knowledge, and a competence toconfront the uncertainties of human experience .Faculty research and creative activity is thefoundation on which education in this College isbuilt. As a result of that endeavor, the lives ofstudents are enriched and the world's body ofknowledge grows .

The College of Arts and Sciences offersprograms in twenty-eight academic disciplinesleading to seven advanced degrees : M.A ., M.S .,M.F .A ., M .Math ., M.Music, M.P .A ., and Ph.D.See the Majors and Degree Programs chart forspecific majors and degrees .

College of LawRichard S . Wirtz, DeanR . Lawrence Dessem, Associate DeanMary Jo Hoover, Associate Dean

The University of Tennessee College of Lawcommenced operation in 1890 and hascontinuously sought to provide high-quality legaleducation in a university community .

While the principal objective of the college isto prepare students for the private practice oflaw, its total mission is more broadly conceived .The college exposes students to the legalissues of our society enabling them to developanalytical skills with respect to decisional lawand statutes, the ability to communicateeffectively their knowledge of the law, anawareness of the historical growth of the law, aknowledgeable appreciation of the interrelation-ship of law and society, and the ability to use

law as an implement of societal control anddevelopment . Students are thus equipped toserve their communities not only as advocatesand counselors, but as policy makers andactive, responsible citizens .

THE PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMThe program of the college has three

dimensions : teaching and learning, research intoand appraisal of our legal systems andinstitutions, and service to the community . Eachplays a significant role in the college as amodern law center .

The teaching and learning element of legaleducation at the college involves a cooperativeclassroom interaction between faculty andstudents in the analytical study of a host ofquestions and problems found in today's legalprofession . These involve decisional law,statutory interpretation, administrative regula-tion, techniques of trial and appellate advocacy,and the roles and responsibilities of the lawyerin advising and representing clients . Whileproper consideration is given to the problems ofTennessee law, the course of study is con-ducted with a view toward providing anawareness and understanding of the regionaland national perspective to prepare students forservice in any state .

The college is also directly involved inproviding service to the community . A majorelement of public service is centered in theLegal Clinic where students, under the guidanceof skilled and experienced licensed practitio-ners, provide legal services to clients . Addition-ally, through research, consultation, and otherservices to legal institutions and groups withinthe state, the college seeks to participate in thedevelopment and improvement of the society inwhich its students may eventually practice law .

In combination, the direction and objectivesof the college lead to the development not of anarrow technician, but of a student of the lawwith the perspective, breadth, and understand-ing necessary to accomplish the many tasksassigned by society to the legal profession .

GRADUATE PROGRAM

Two dual degree programs are available inconjunction with the College of Law : the J.D .-MBA program with the College of BusinessAdministration and the J.D .-M .P .A. program withthe Department of Political Science . Refer todetails under the respective field of instruction .

Graduate students in other disciplines mayalso take law courses upon approval of theCollege of Law and the major professor . SeeLaw under Fields of Instruction .
