Welcome
Message from the President
Welcome to the website of the Tennessee Conference of Graduate Schools. The membership of TCGS includes graduate colleges and schools at the leading public and private universities in Tennessee. We invite you to explore our website and learn about the organization, its members, and graduate education in Tennessee.
Member schools of TCGS meet regularly to discuss our individual accomplishments and our mutual concerns that affect graduate education in the state of Tennessee. The ideas shared in our meetings help all of us be more effective as leaders of graduate education. If your university is not currently a member, we encourage you to seriously consider joining the TCGS. We also encourage students interested in attending graduate school in Tennessee to explore this website. You visit the Membership to find the locations and links to the graduate schools of all of the TCGS members. If you have questions about graduate education in Tennessee, please contact one of the TCGS committee members.
Michael D. Allen, Ph.D.
