"The MBA program allowed me to use real world examples and problems rather than made up scenarios. I found the faculty to be particularly engaging and welcoming in the exchange of ideas and thoughts. I have found that my MBA education has prepared me exceptionally well to make the board room a level playing field. Never once have I felt inadequate or unprepared. I have enjoyed both the campus course and online MBA course experiences equally, and I believe that UTC has succeeded in creating the best of both worlds with this hybrid MBA program. Without question, the MBA program from day one to completion will have enormous value and impact on my career. I think it has made me a better physician and a better leader."

- C. David Adair, MD, UTC MBA Graduate

“I was drawn to the fully Online MBA program because I have been living abroad for two years and needed an MBA program that I could trust, would provide great instruction, and would allow me the flexibility to learn on my own time while living and working full-time on another continent. My instruction has been great, my professors amazingly helpful, and I’ve enjoyed working with my classmates on group projects. Even though it’s not a traditional classroom setting, the courses are laid out in such a way that I am able to apply my newly learned knowledge to real-life situations.”

- Kaci Ailey, UTC MBA Graduate

"The UTC Rollins College of Business MBA Online Program faculty and staff truly appreciate their students and have a willingness to help students succeed that is indicative of the Chattanooga culture.”

- Krista Caulkins, UTC MBA Graduate

"My online education has directly helped me in many ways in my current job, especially the Strategic Management course. Although my background is in engineering, I work in one of the most “corporate” roles of my career. The concepts I’ve learned in finance, accounting, and economics show up often in my work, and having a heightened knowledge of those fields has been very valuable. The Strategic Management course has had a tremendous influence on my daily work. My role falls within the Business Planning organization, where we help develop tactical plans for each business unit that align with the strategic objectives the company has decided on. I can very directly apply to my role what I’ve learned relating to strategy, various strategic models, and concepts like the Balanced Scorecard. As a result of my classes, I have found myself able to contribute more to conversations and with the confidence to speak to fields I wasn’t previous comfortable with."

- Erik Franey, UTC MBA Graduate

"My favorite parts about being in an online MBA are that I learned alongside classmates from different areas, time zones, and states and the flexibility to study on days that were best for my schedule. This complemented quite nicely how virtual teams work professionally today.  The level of engagement and connection to other students was the most surprising. I had never done remote classes before, and I wondered how I would engage with professors and classmates. The discussions and group work were a large part of what helped make these connections."

- Ted Lindsey, UTC MBA Graduate

"The Online MBA program at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) has been pivotal in enhancing my leadership skills. The insights and competencies gained from UTC's MBA program have enabled me to reflect deeply on my decisions and their extensive impact, affecting not only my team but also our company and the broader community."

- David Nordy, UTC MBA Graduate

"I chose the MBA program online at UTC because of its flexibility and affordable rates for in-state tuition. My main goal was to find an MBA program that was fully accredited (including AACSB) for which I could pay out of pocket without taking out additional loans. Each professor is knowledgeable, helpful, and an expert in their field. Their ability to answer questions and recommend additional readings is exceptional. My time at UTC has been fruitful and has helped my career grow - both personally and professionally. My online MBA degree has given me a boost in my career even before completing it."

“The MBA Online with Business Analytics concentration included challenging courses that applied business decisions to case studies and coursework in the areas of prescriptive and predictive analytics. And, having capstone projects in group settings allowed students to pull from the curriculum that was studied. The program and capstone projects provided insight to new directions I could take my career.”
