Welcome to ETSU Bluegrass!East Tennessee State University is an ideal place to pursue studies in bluegrass, old time, and country music. Music is part of everyday life here. Students interested in the region's music make friends quickly and easily—both on and off campus—and find a multitude of opportunities to share their music with others. ETSU faculty members with impressive professional credentials provide students the benefits of their experience and insights gathered over years of recording and performing with top musicians in the field. The countryside is lush and beautiful, with the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Great Smoky Mountains close by. There are numerous state and national parks and forests in the area, which is also home to abundant farmland and pasture. Nevertheless, the urban conveniences provided by Johnson City, Kingsport and Bristol are within 30 minutes of one another. Located in Johnson City, Tennessee, East Tennessee State is the only four-year university in the world with a comprehensive bluegrass music program. It offers a variety of bluegrass and country music courses, both performance-oriented and academic, which are electives for undergraduate credit. Minors in both Bluegrass and in Appalachian Studies are offered, to which bluegrass courses can be applied.
