- Refer to the latest or declared Undergraduate Catalog for official information.
- Requirements subject to change with notice in latest current Undergraduate Catalog.


At UT Martin, students are allowed to satisfy the requirements for a bachelor's degree under any catalog in effect within 10 years of the date of graduation and provided that they were enrolled at UT Martin or any other Tennessee public community college when the catalog was in effect.  However, this does not obligate the university to offer a discontinued course.
