Founded in 1911 as a normal school, the university consists of eight undergraduate colleges as well as a college of graduate studies, together offering more than 300 degree programs through more than 35 departments.[6][7] The university has partnered in research endeavors with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory,[8] the United States Army, and the United States Marine Corps.[9] It is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity".[10]
