About the Master of Business Administration Program
"We engage students, inspire change and enrich the community."
This is the living vision of The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, a public university located on a 321-acre metropolitan campus in Chattanooga, Tennessee. UTC is part of the University of Tennessee System (UT System) and is distinguished as the only university in the System to offer a 100% online MBA program. This program complements the University's Flexible MBA programs, its more than 50-year old MBA program on campus, that has been renamed and updated to offer a full time MBA on campus or the flexible MBA program that is a mixture of face-to-face and online MBA courses.
UTC was founded in 1886 as then-private Chattanooga University with the motto of "We shall achieve." Today, the University serves almost 12,000 undergrad and graduate students, on campus and online. UTC has received national recognition for the strength of its business and engineering programs. Its strong relationships within the region promote numerous partnerships in experiential learning through cooperative education, internships, clinical experiences and applied research projects. UTC was the only public university in Tennessee to be named a 2016 College of Distinction. The accolade, based on rankings in the four categories of Engaged Students, Great Teaching, Vibrant Community and Successful Outcomes, speaks to UTC's continuing institution-wide journey to excellence.
Within UTC, the College of Business is a top-ranked, AACSB accredited school that is committed to providing students with the tools and support they need to be academically prepared and business world ready.
