The staff here couldn t give a care in the world if you learn or graduate. And they don t teach you anything about getting a job in your field. Most of the curriculum is irrelevant.

Plus, the programs are so convoluted with co requisites and prerequisites that you get screwed over when classes aren t available (known as the Big Orange Screw ). And they add an absurd amount of writing-intensive Perspectives classes in foreign studies and additional US studies classes and world history, so you really hardly take any classes related to your major. They want to be a Top 25 research institution but alienate the students who are TN students just trying to get an affordable degree with their HOPE scholarships. So many other universities have simplistic general education pathways and then you can dive into your major, but not UT.

My advice, don t waste your time.
