The Office of Regional Centers (RCOP) is a group of diverse units that all focus on outreach and service to communities, moving beyond the traditional main campus to provide educational opportunities across the state and throughout the region. The office expands UT Martin’s capacity as a primary campus of the state’s land-grant university to connect working adults, parents, veterans and active military, as well as traditional-aged college students and youth, with higher education opportunities and resources.
RCOP connects Tennesseans with the university through UT Martin Regional Centers in Jackson, Parsons, Ripley, Selmer, and Somerville. Online delivery options enable students to complete degrees and other educational opportunities near home or work, and at times that fit their busy schedules. College credit provided through high school dual enrollment helps students shorten their time to college graduation and reduce college debt. Non-degree programs offer a variety of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and other professional workforce development enhancements; and, creative educational programs for children and youth throughout the year provide rich connections with future generations of students and their families.
With options available for those interested in earning a degree, expanding professional development and training through non-degree classes, or pursuing personal interests, RCOP helps individuals, organizations, and businesses meet their educational needs. Through innovative approaches that expand the classroom and other university resources to impact communities where our students live, work, and play, the office comprises an integral component of the university’s strategic mission by helping Tennesseans solve real-world problems every day and succeed in the classroom, workforce, and beyond.
