Strategic Enrollment Plan
The University of Tennessee Health Science Center is embarking on the development of our first ever institutional Strategic Enrollment Plan (SEP). This plan will enable us to strategically increase our enrollment, ensure success of matriculated students, and improve our overall graduation rates.
The SEP will set the priorities that will enable us to develop capacity for operational excellence in furthering its role as the statewide academic health sciences center for the State of Tennessee.
