UTC is back to pre-Covid enrollment growth

Large freshman class pushes total number of students over 11,000

CHATTANOOGA (WDEF) – UTC reports they have a huge incoming class of freshman this fall.

2,229 freshman are hitting campus this fall, which is more than an 8% jump in size.

This continues the enrollment growth the university was seeing before the pandemic hit.

The total enrollment this fall tops 11,000.

“I’m very encouraged to see our strong incoming freshmen and graduate student numbers in particular, which is a signal that students and families value the contribution higher education can make on one’s career trajectory and overall quality of life,” said UTC Chancellor Steven R. Angle.

Nearly 600 students are attending tuition-free this year through the UT Promise scholarship program.
