For over 100 years, the UofM has been a catalyst for progress in the city of Memphis, the state of Tennessee and the surrounding Mid-South region. From its inception in 1912 as a “normal school” dedicated to the education of public school teachers to its role today as an educator of technologically savvy, socially conscious graduates who face a complex world, the UofM has always been an integral component of the greater community. Exceptional students from 50 states and 82 countries choose the University of Memphis as their collegiate home.
