The Tennessee Conference of Graduate Schools was founded in 1977 for the purpose of
  • considering matters of common interest related to graduate study and research,
  • articulating the needs of graduate education, and
  • influencing public opinion and legislation for the improvement and advancement of graduate education through appropriate channels. 

Each institution of higher education in the State of Tennessee which has regional or professional accredited status and offers graduate work is eligible for membership. See the History of the Organization.

TCGS is affiliated with the Conference of Southern Graduate Schools (CSGS).
