East Tennessee State University International Student Insurance

East Tennessee State University, located in Johnson City, Tennessee, was established in 1911. It was founded as the East Tennessee State Normal School, a teacher training institution. It became East Tennessee State Teachers College in 1925 and underwent a host of other name changes as its mission and course offerings expanded until 1963, when it officially adopted its current name. ETSU is the fourth-largest university in Tennessee and operates two off-campus centers in Kingsport and Elizabethton. Today, the school enrolls more than 14,000 students and counting each year. Its colors are navy blue and gold, and its athletic nickname is the buccaneers.
