Adventure

Embark on a new adventure.

In fact, we were ranked by Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine as a "Top Adventure College" and Johnson City was named a "Top Adventure Town"!

The natural beauty of our region makes an incredible backdrop for your university experience.

When you come to visit campus, the mountains will greet you.

Our 360-acre campus includes the University Woods--part of the Old-Growth Forest Network--with a five-mile trail system, just miles away from the famous Tweetsie Trail that begins in downtown Johnson City or a short drive from the Smoky Mountains.

The outdoors are a "living classroom" at ETSU--our certified Arboretum has more than 200 species of trees.

If you want more "outside" in your life--hiking, kayaking, rock climbing, camping, stand-up paddle-boarding--start the adventure of your life as a Buccaneer.
