Memphis, TN is the birthplace of many things. It’s where the world’s first hotel chain (Holiday Inn), the first full-service grocery store (Piggly Wiggly), the first outlet mall and the world’s first and largest overnight package delivery company (FedEx) were all born. Music fans recognize Memphis as the “Home of the Blues” and the “Birthplace of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” the place where such legends as Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and B. B. King honed their talent. Food aficionados know Memphis for its pork barbecue and soul food. It is also home to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Mid-South’s largest medical center and the world’s largest air cargo airport. The city’s vibrant history of culture, music and business innovation has helped shape the world, and it continues to inspire millions of people.

The greater Memphis area has a population of 1.3 million, which makes the city the 20th largest in the country. It offers many cultural and entertainment opportunities, including major museum exhibits, sporting events, concerts, art shows, lectures and community festivals that take place throughout the year. The AAA baseball team, the Redbirds, and the NBA team, the Grizzlies, both call Memphis home.

Several worldwide companies have their headquarters in Memphis. Due to the city’s diverse business and industry landscape, the city offers exceptional student internships and employment opportunities in a variety of fields, both during and after a student’s college career.

A lot of great things have come out of the city of Memphis. We are proud to call it home.  MemphisTravel.com is where you will find information on Memphis' attractions, restaurants, hotels, nightlife and more.  All of it combines to make your trip to Memphis as enjoyable as possible.

The University of Memphis
What happens when you take students with diverse talents and backgrounds and put them together with internationally known faculty?  Something pretty amazing comes together. It's what you find at the University of Memphis.  Here, we're recognized the nation over for our academic and research programs.  But what matters most to our students are the more than 254 areas of study to explore. Students come here from all over the world to receive bachelor's, master's, professional and doctoral degrees.  They come here to do, to create, to learn, to grow. To improve the world. That's what Memphis does.

Our beautiful campus is home to the FedEx Institute of Technology, where world renowned researchers solve complex problems affecting society, and the Kemmons Wilson School of Hospitality and Resort Management, created by the late founder of Holiday Inns. Pre-professional training is available for students planning to enter dentistry, medicine, optometry, pharmacy, physical therapy or veterinary medicine. The University proudly offers Air Force, Army and Navy ROTC programs.

Making our students' lives easier is important, so we offer convenient high caliber degree programs entirely online through our Regents Online Degree Program, including the Bachelor of Professional Studies in information technology or organizational leadership and the Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies in general studies, liberal studies or university studies.

We are home to the largest honors program in the state of Tennessee.  Top academic performers with big ambitions find a rich, diverse experience through our Helen Hardin Honors ProgramWe combine the best of a small liberal arts school with the wide-ranging opportunities of a large, nationally recognized research university.  While all of the 1,300 honors students excel academically, they also are part of a dynamic and diverse student body of more than 20,000 students.  The program has produced Goldwater Scholars, Truman Scholars and Fulbright Scholars.  Many departments within specific academic programs offer their own honors programs, so there are many ways for students to graduate with honors.  The U of M also has a well thought of Emerging Leaders Program where students get real world experience to become tomorrow's leaders. www.memphis.edu
