Funding Update

Haslam enters the next academic year with strong financial stewardship and a clear vision for the future. With total revenue projected at $210 million and disciplined expense management, the college is well-positioned to invest strategically in the people and programs that define the Haslam experience.

The coming year features plans to welcome 25 new faculty, an incoming class of approximately 1,750 students in the fall, expanded pathways for external transfer students and online learners, and, of course, continued progress on the new building. The college plans to move into the facility in late 2027, with the first classes in the building kicking off with the start of the spring 2028 semester.

Private philanthropy continues to play a vital role in supporting these advancements, fueling student scholarships, faculty excellence, honors programming, and innovation across the college. As Haslam builds on its momentum, careful financial planning and generous donor support ensure growth remains both bold and sustainable. At every level, Haslam is investing with intention to build for the future while stewarding today’s resources wisely.
