The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga has again been named among the Best Universities—Master’s in the South in U.S. News & World Report’s 2009 edition of America’s Best Colleges.

UTC’s inclusion in this category is distinguished by its offerings of undergraduate, master’s and three doctoral degree programs. In the category of Top Public Universities—Master’s in the South, UTC is ranked 13th.

“This is one more indication of something our students and parents have known all along, that this University offers a top quality education,” said UTC Chancellor Roger Brown. “That is why UTC is one of the fastest growing public higher education institutions in Tennessee.”

The annual guide ranks colleges in a variety of categories and considers criteria such as graduation rates, faculty to student ratios, alumni giving, and academic reputation.
