The University of Tennessee System s move to acquire Martin Methodist College, its fourth undergraduate college, is in its final stages.
The merging process that started in September is drawing to a close following a Board of Trustees vote Wednesday. The next step is to have it approved by the General Assembly and attorney general.
The acquisition of Martin Methodist College would be UT s newest campus in over 50 years. The last was UT Chattanooga in 1969. Martin Methodist was established in 1870 and is the only four-year and graduate institution between Sewannee in the east and Freed-Hardeman in the west.
