Taken as a whole, the 370,000 living alumni of UT campuses share some characteristics that help define the “average” UT grad.
Overwhelmingly, UT graduates live in Tennessee, home of 61.6 percent of us. Almost 38 percent live elsewhere in the U.S., while almost 1 percent live abroad. For the remaining 1.8 percent, residence location is unknown.
We’re slightly more women (50.5 percent) than men (49.5 percent), and one-third of us have
graduate degrees.
The 97,563 graduates of UT colleges of arts and sciences create the largest group and have degrees in more than 60 majors and concentrations, from art to chemistry, English to French, math to music, philosophy to physics.
The second-largest group of graduates is business majors, at 64,706, followed by education graduates, at 58,071.
