The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and Chattanooga State Community College have partnered to create a new bachelor’s degree program in applied leadership for working adults.
The program guarantees UTC admission to Chattanooga State students who have completed their associate of applied science degree in business, offering a seamless pathway to a four-year degree.
Officials held a ceremony Friday at UTC to sign an agreement creating the partnership.
“We are trying to make it as easy as possible for students to get the education they need to get the career that they seek,” UTC Chancellor Steve Angle said. “This online program is designed to be flexible to help adults (and) returning students who want to get a little more in terms of a degree experience so that they can help their company or organization and compete for well-paying jobs.”
