Student Success at Herff

At the Herff College of Engineering at the University of Memphis, student success is our top priority. By supporting every step of your journey, we’re shaping the future of engineering — one student at a time.

Programs That Support Engineering Student Success

Herff College offers a pipeline of engineering programs, mentoring and student services designed to recruit, retain, and prepare students for rewarding careers in STEM. From your first semester through graduation, you’ll find opportunities to gain hands-on experience, connect with peers and develop the technical and professional skills that give you a competitive edge in the workplace. Whether you’re a commuter or live on campus, you’ll feel supported and connected as part of the Herff community.

Success Inside and Outside the Classroom

True student success goes beyond academics. At Herff, we combine rigorous engineering coursework with mentoring, advising and real-world, project-based learning. Outside the classroom, you’ll build leadership skills, expand your professional network and discover ways to make an impact. By engaging in research, collaboration and student life, Herff engineers graduate prepared for both career success and lifelong achievement.

Get Involved and Build Your Network

A strong sense of belonging is key to thriving in college. Herff engineering students take part in more than 200 student organizations — from professional engineering societies and service clubs to intramural sports, cultural groups and student government. You can even start your own group or event to share your passion and leadership.

Our students also participate in impactful outreach, including Up ’Til Dawn, a nationally recognized fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital that was founded right here at the University of Memphis.
