Austin Peay State University boasts two Centers of
Excellence - the
Center of Excellence
for the Creative Arts and the
Center
of Excellence for Field Biology. Because of their outstanding performance outcomes,
both have earned the designation of "Accomplished" Centers of Excellence among
Tennessee's public universities.
Established in 1985, the
Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts captures
the uniqueness of the University's tradition in the liberal arts. Combining the
institution's well-established disciplines of music, creative writing, art and theatre,
the center is designed to promote the creative arts in Tennessee. A regional oasis for the
arts, the center sponsors more than 100 arts events annually.
The
Center
of Excellence for Field Biology, established in 1986, is a major research component of
the University, highly regarded by scientists from coast to coast. Much of the research is
conducted in the natural laboratory of nearby
Land Between
The Lakes, a 300-square-mile forested preserve between Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley.
Undergraduate students, as well as graduate students, work closely with investigators in
the center. As a result, they have the opportunity to conduct hands-on research and to
publish their findings.
