I agree that getting a professional school should be our biggest priority. I don’t care if it’s a med school, dental school, law school, etc. We desperately need those programs to continue to boost our school.

You would think music with the location. I will say tho they have one of the top schools for pilots in the country. It has a partnership with Delta and is a big deal

We already have a highly rated music school if I remember correctly. The professional schools are generally graduate schools. I think a Med school would be a fairly easy one to get going since we’ve already got a partnership with McHarry in Nashville and there are only two public options in TN. ETSU and UTK in Memphis.

Not a good look when you have to read your entire statement and can't speak without looking at the camera/audience.

I'm old enough to remember when MT tried to procure the NSOL back in the 80s and had a deal in place, and tsu screwed that up by using the Geier Stipulation, and lobbied the state to fund to give them an equivalent amount of funding to do the same deal with them, but the NSOL balked at it, and tsu ended spending the not unsubstantial state funding on other things... Still pissed about that.

MT could have been producing law degrees from a fully dedicated MT School of Law for nearly 4 decades if not for that.

OMore College of Design is now part of Belmont. It closed the Franklin location in February 2018. I’m trying to understand what this “collaborative curriculum” is going to provide if the graduates can’t sit for the bar or practice law. A couple of semesters of business law in my undergrad BBA was sufficient to understand the basics of business law.
