Wow! Over 17,000 students at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have earned a spot on the Fall 2025 Dean's List! That's a huge achievement, showcasing the incredible academic dedication of these students. But what exactly does it take to be recognized? Let's dive in!
To make the Dean's List, undergraduate students need to hit some impressive grade point average (GPA) targets. Achieving a GPA between 3.90 and 4.00 earns you summa cum laude honors, while a 3.7 to 3.89 GPA gets you magna cum laude, and a 3.50 to 3.69 GPA earns cum laude recognition. It's a clear demonstration of consistent hard work and academic excellence. Students also need to complete at least 12 credit hours to be considered, excluding any courses taken on a satisfactory/no-credit basis.
This list, which is available online, is easily searchable, allowing you to find students by semester, name, hometown, state, and even county (for Tennessee residents).
As the state's leading public university, UT is experiencing unprecedented growth, reshaping the very definition of student success. This also means that UT is adapting to meet the evolving workforce needs of Tennessee. This is an exciting time for UT!
